I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down and kept reading until the end as I wanted to know what happened. I hadn't read anything by the author before but I will definitely be reading more by them. The story was so action packed and full of adventure and I loved following the characters journey through the book. Overall, a brilliant novel that I highly recommend to other readers. I'll be starting the next book in the series straight away.

One of the better books I've read in a long while. Honestly have been suggesting this left, right and centre. If you're looking for a book you'll read in one sitting just because you're unable to put it down, then here you go.

Best fantasy I’ve read this year. Fast paced, mysterious world. I’m so excited for Nightbane (the sequel)

Fantasy that reads like a breath of fresh air. Filled with secrets aplenty and enthralling magic, Lightlark will have you gasping then swooning while these valiant rulers fight to break their curses. I enjoyed this book a lot despite the negative reviews which put me off slightly. The idea is brilliant and well carried out, the writing style is easy to follow although different from usual fantasy styles. The book starts straight into the action and the world builds along the way. For each ruler we do get some depth although not a lot into them and it is easy to form opinions early. The trials were all interesting and well thought out and although I thought there would be more romance it is very muted - only one spicy scene and a couple of sweet ones instead the romantic gestures are subtle. The action scenes were intense and had magical elements and twists that had me absolutely shaken! I highly recommend giving this book a read!

The story is great. full of plot twists and action/adventure that leave you guessing until the end
