There weren’t really any notable side characters aside from Isla’s guardians and Ella and the barkeep, come to think of it, but the rulers were pretty interesting in my opinion. I really enjoyed the characters in Lightlark. Image from on Instagram Characters in Lightlark In a story filled to the brim with schemes, betrayal, and romance, Lightlark explores what it means to have power– and the lengths people will go to take it. “To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray…even as love complicates everything.” The effects of her realm’s curse are causing her land to suffer, and it’s up to Isla to save them– and this Centennial might be her last chance to do so.Įxcept, winning the Centennial is not a simple task.īecause Isla was born without Wildling abilities.Īnd in order to break the curses, one ruler and their entire realm must die. Wildlings are feared temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with, and survive only on human hearts. Each ruler from six realms must come together and fight to fulfill a prophecy and break their realm’s curse. As the ruler of Wildling, it is her duty to save her dying realm from its curse by participating in the Centennial, a game that takes place every 100 years on a magical island called Lightlark.Įxcept, this game is no ordinary game. However, I definitely enjoyed it, and I can’t wait for the sequel to come out! I understand why some people might not like this book. And isn’t that why we read? To enjoy a book so much we find ourselves separated from something when we pull away? I felt like I was in there with the characters experiencing the story by their side. It wasn’t just a book, it was like an entire experience, so immersive and magical. It was everything I want in a book and more. I couldn’t stop gasping at the plot twists, giggling at the romance, and shivering at the parts that gave me chills. It’s super hyped and I didn’t know whether that hype was justified or just good marketing.īut I was pleasantly surprised! Actually, more than that. Lightlark was truly such a gem, and if I’m being perfectly honest, I didn’t expect it to be.
