The book was really good to read, but I’m just upset over the love interest She decided to pick up the end. That’s the only reason I’m rating it a six 😂🤦🏽♀️
I went into this story completely blind, didnât know the author and didnât know it was a BookTok book, I picked it up because the cover was intriguing. With that being said I enjoyed the book. I did initially get a Hunger Games/Divergent feel, some of which will enjoy the familiar tropes in the book while other may feel itâs annoying or predictable.
The ruler of each of the 6 realms have to compete to win in order to break the curse. The competitions by each realm ruler were based on fears, strengths, weaknesses and desire. They were more intellectually based rather than physical.
Isla (MC) trained her entire life for the Centennial competition, in order to break the curse, one of the rulers must die. Upon arriving to Lightlark, Isla becomes tangled in inter-realm politics where everyone could be lying or deceiving in order to win.
As the Centennial begins, Isla builds relationships with unlikely partners, one of which is Grimshaw, the ruler of the hated Nightshade realm, and Celeste, the young and youthful ruler of the Starlings. Islaâs plans are repeatedly ruined by circumstances both in and out of her control, and sheâll have to risk her life on the hunt for the heart of the island, an object with immense Power to help break the curse, which is a journey that will reveal secrets about Lightlarkâs pastâas well as her own. Isla doesnât know who she can trust, who is lying, who will deceive her, and who will betray her.
I throughly enjoyed this book, even though some of the tropes were familiar, it was well paced and the twists at the end were well written and surprising.
