Nightbane

This has been an interesting book. As Isla starts to train and build her powers. She is also discovering hidden truths about herself. Impactful and entertaining.

Wow! I really enjoyed Lightlark but Nightbane… loved it. Reading chapter to chapter and seeing the before and after was crazy. Every chapter brought more surprises and twists. I’m confused. My heart pulls for Oro but also for Grimm. So much was unpacked in this book. The ending was shocking but also a cliff hanger. I can’t wait to read Skyshade!

The last memory revealed made me scream!! I loved it!

I'm dying at the end.. I need the next book.

Loved these books!!! Hunger games with romance. It is a great story.

Oh, it had suuuuch potential!
A lot of things are unfinished, so many others are unexplored, and that ending is as confusing as it is nonsensical (yet predictable).
I still enjoyed discovering some of their past and their motivations.

This book was amazing, so many plot twists, especially at the end and I am hoping with my soul there will be a 3rd book!

Loved Lightlark and Nightbane took a little longer for me to get into but I ended up loving.Also,aaaahhhhhhhh to tbe cliff hanger that Alex left us with .

Again, from my view from the first book, it was like it was written by a teenager. This book was so hard to follow. All the past and present were frustrating. So much potential, but fell short.

The second book in the Lightlark series, this one picks up just where the first left us. The love triangle continues to be fraught, Isla continues to learn what her abilities can do, and secrets about their world abound. So, romantasy being romantasy. Are there some plot holes? Yes. Is the writing sometimes a little…silly? Most certainly. But the characters are great and the story is fun, so who cares that not everything makes perfect sense, and when the writing isn’t silver prose it’s still not the worst I’ve ever read by a lot shot. I’m declaring myself an Aster fan.

Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga, #2) by Alex Aster

The Centennial games are over and Isla is the leader of two realms. Not quite sure how she will handle her new responsibilities, she has a lot on her hands. Soon memories of her past creep upon her, as the past will collide with the present and affect the future.

Adding to her struggles she has two leaders in love with her. When the fate of those she cares about is in her hands, decisions won't come easy. Life is anything but simple as the saga continues.

Well developed complex characters, each with their own personalities, flaws and strengths. Descriptive narrative pulls you in and won't let (you) go. Moving at a steady pace with a mix of action, suspense, thrills and a splash of romance, I was hooked from the start.

Overall I found Nightbane enjoyable. I recommend to those 18+ who enjoy a fascinating fantasy.
