Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2): Alex Aster (The Lightlark Saga, 2)

Product Information

did you know, radiohead copyright sued lana del rey for her song “get free” allegedly being too similar to “creep. i will be tuning in to lightl3rk because what do i have if a book doesn't make me laugh like the joker after killing robert de niro once i finish it? Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark?

anyways, long story short, turns out isla was getting it on w rhysand before all the events of book 1 but things went south and so he took away her memories (after she asked him to, I KNEW IT!

grim's brutality, possessiveness, his unwillingness to share information makes him utterly insufferable. It's obviously supposed to be a big deal but the symbolism doesn't have any root to an idea or an emotion. 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.

I mean, I don't think anyone expected a huge jump in quality, but it would be interesting to see what improvements the author made. even more ironic, years before, a different musician won a copyright suit claiming “creep” was copying their song. as someone who has been listening to ok computer on repeat for the last month and had lana del rey as their top spotify artist this year, i feel uniquely qualified to talk about this. i found it to be pretty shallow and silly, sparse in its worldbuilding and preoccupied with romance but.They weren't as lengthy and layered with a long ass explanation that made no sense as Lightlark, but there was a series of fuckass plot twists at the end of Nightbane. It's pushing the boundaries of how horny you can make something, for the pleasure of an adult audience, and still shelving the book as YA. The sad thing about this series is that it's not the worst thing ever, it's just stupid and incoherent. Like I said I've finished the book but every few minutes I keep thinking I need to go back to reading it because I forget I'm done and then I get sad and also mad because I need the next book like TOMORROW.

i don’t particularly like isla and i don’t like either of the “love interests,” oro or grim, but she should not have been with oro. lore concerning the realms is so silly, it's as if she heard that people were critical of how poorly thought out the curses were and then wildly overcorrected.oro will be referred to as either wonderbread or an old man or my personal favorite, “walking chastity belt,” or some combination of the three.
