Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2) (Volume 2) Paperback – 22 Oct. 2024

It has been a long time since I haven’t been able to put a book down, and this series gripped me from the first chapter. I fear I will not take another breath until the next book is realised SO PLEASE!!!! I NEED THE NEXT ONE!!! PLEASEEEEEEEFantastic. Very well written and the story just sucks you in. Buy it now(or wait for the book to come out so you don’t feel this way, but defo read them)

Nightbane is the second book in the LightLark series by Alex Aster. After the dramatic finale of LightLark, I was absolutely desperate to read this book to find out what was going to happen.Isla is back and navigating her way through the aftermath of how the centennial ended. She is grappling with learning to deal with her present reality, whilst finding her past.The book switches from Isla’s present to past a lot, and at times it felt like it was an overly used technique. However, like in LightLark, you are learning everything through her eyes, her memories, and her truth is your truth as a reader.I loved all the characters in this book, and the tension between Isla and her love interests is off the charts. This book held more spice than the last, but still kept it in the YA fantasy realm.The ending had an equally unexpected plot twist, and this time, I found it hard to guess what was going to happen.An exciting read which kept me on my toes, and now to delve into Skyshade!

Good read

Such a great read and very well written!

Was trying very hard but could not finish the book. The first part was much better, this time the plot feels forced and dialogue is boring. Won't be waiting for the 3rd part

It was a bit slow, didn't enjoy as much as the first 2. Struggled to stay engaged at points.Liked the overall story of the trilogy tho.

5⭐️Excuse me but… WHAT?!?!That ending has me needing the next book INSTANTLY!I LOVED all of this, the way the whole story unfolded slowly. I usually don’t like a load of flashbacks but I was absolutely feral for them, I couldn’t wait for the next one.I thought this was done really well, kept me guessing what she was going to do and decide the whole time.I thought that by the end she was going to go a certain way and be sure of it. So the way that this actually ended has my jaw hanging open.

This book is a great addition to Lightlark series. It has a lot of twists. 10/10 from me! But do be prepared......
