The Lightlark Saga, Book 2

The seductive and action-packed follow-up to Alex Aster's instant #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling novel, Lightlark

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark's seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven't ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla's midst who don't believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.

Alex Aster's intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla's memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

Oro Takes This One

I prefer Grim's character over Oro's from Isla's pov, but he loses points when comparing his pov to Oro's story. This felt more like book 1 of the series: juvenile and a little lazy. It was repetitive (if I have to hear "bane of my existence" one more time!) and lacked much of anything we didn't already know from Isla's pov. PLUS, Anthony Palmini really doesn't need to narrate every romantasy book. He lost Grim even more points with his annoying Captain Kirk staccato. I said what I said.

wow

amazing amazing amazing i love it! and Suzi you are a rockstar! what a great narrating of even greater story
