Lightlark by Alex Aster
3.25
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Happy that I finally read it myself to see where all the hype is coming from.

The good: The characters are likeable, it’s fast paced, high stakes, has some pretty good plot twists in the mix. 

The bad: I felt like the world building was quite lacking. The setting could’ve been even more immersive with some more attention to detail regarding the imagery. I also felt like the plot had holes and couldn’t choose a direction at multiple points.

A 3 star read with a 4 star ending. I’ll continue on in the series, but it didn’t leave an insane impression on me.
