The Lightlark Saga, Book 3

By: Alex Aster

Narrated by: Suzy Jackson

Love kills kingdoms …

Back in Grim’s castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two.

Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.

As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle’s final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.

With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world—or destroy it.

Couldn’t stop listening to

Omg this book! I devoured it on audible so quickly! This by far is my favorite in the series. I love how Isla finds out about her past and some truths she needed. We get to see more of Grim and how their relationship once was and what it turns into now after everything that has happened. As always plot twist and a crazy ride. I’m excited for the next one especially the way it ended! Every book in this series the ending leaves me speechless

Amazing read

Woah! What a cliff hanger at the end yet again. Great story and the writing just keep getting better and better. Worth the read.

So good it hurt

My heart can’t handle anymore of this! The narrator did any excellent job with this series.

Cliffhanger

I really thought this was the end of the series - so for that I’m frustrated lol but it was a good book - soooo many you must do this to get that tho - too many in my opinion - but boy the plot has thickened….

Loved it

Even though it isn’t spicy it’s still a really good story and I think who narrates it makes it all the better too. She does a really good job narrating it

Whiplash

I was not a fan of the back and forth and lack of steady consistency of this love triangle. I would have preferred a steady pace back into Grims arms rather than this whiplash of “I hate him” “I love him” “I hate him again” it was just not consistent and didn’t feel very authentic.
The plot and story however was good and a nice twist to who the villain really was.

The horrible ending

I HATE THE ENDING. So abrubt. I needed more of the story but hopefully the next book is more detailed.

The introduction of a new antagonist and its impact on character development.

I appreciated the continued storyline of the main character and how her strength and abilities grew as she faced increasingly difficult trials. I was, however, a little confused by the significant role of one character in the second book, only to find him seemingly discarded in this third book. His arc felt somewhat abrupt. While I enjoyed the overall storyline, I found the main character's frequent displays of distress somewhat frustrating, especially considering how much could have been avoided if she had fully embraced her strength and abilities to achieve her goals.

OMG

excellent i can't wait for the next book this is the most exciting series i have ever read awesome storyline fascinating woven words just speechless ending

Great performance, but a weaker book

I don’t know how to feel. I wish I’d gotten more answers than questions, and Isla grappling with her feelings over and over again was frustrating as a reader. But the answers we DID get were so freaking cool, I’m excited to see what happens next.
