Alex Aster
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.

"Ughhhh it was very good. I need Skyshade to release now. To my mutual on here who asked if it was spicy, it is relatively spicy but doesn't use detailed terms. It focuses more on emotion instead of body parts. "

"The emotional damage that was just inflicted upon me. Holy heck with this love triangle and the two “Who did this to you” MMCs!!! 1000x yes to this sequel to Lightlark. The juxtaposition of present tense with glimpses of Isla and Grims past, built a crazy amount of tension. The way I was glued to the last 25% of this book. I don’t know if I need a minute to recover or if I’m thrilled that Skyshade was just released. Oh, who am I kidding?…I’m digging in immediately."

"Okay okay 4⭐️s
I feel like after reading this one it made me appreciate the world and the series more!! At first I struggled with the first book and the writing of it, however I listened to it as an audio book and enjoyed it a lot more. For some reason the writing was really hard to understand in the first book so either it was me or the writing completely changed in the second book haha!!!
But I did enjoy it!! It was fast paced and kept me entertained which I really loved!! I’m all about plot twist endings and loved the ending! "
