Publisher's Summary

#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers listeners a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel

Welcome to the Centennial.

Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm's curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die.

Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial.

To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray…even as love complicates everything.

Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-listen for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

Definitely recommend

Loved the book. It is actually really hard to put down. I am super impatient. I hate when the plot is dragged around. This book did the total opposite. Can’t wait for the second book.

Wonderful book wish I could read it again for the first time

I enjoyed every minute of this book. The narrator pronounces the main characters name eyes-la, however in the book you learn that’s the way it’s supposed to be pronounced. It’s not a mistake. Once I learned that it was very enjoyable to listen to.

Eyes-la 🤢🤮

Decent story other than the fact that Isla is weak and dumb. Makes reading her story insufferable.

The worst part of this is the narration. Every time I heart “eyes-la” I full body cringed. Did no one review this audio before it got published?

Also the narrators male voices are so cringey I can’t take the romance seriously.

Eyes-La

Every time the narrator pronounced the main characters name Isla and Eyes-La it was like nails on a chalkboard. Did no one bother to do quality assurance on the proper pronunciation of the name…?
