✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Skyshade* (The Lightlark Saga Book 3) is a divisive installment. Many appreciate the deeper world-building, heightened emotional tension,...
I felt like this book was a lot, and I MEAN A LOT of damsel in distress and “WHO DID THIS TO YOU”. I don’t mind it, I was like heck yeah Grim kill everybody that looks at her I mean why not.
I think the plot did get a little more entertaining as it went on.
I would’ve liked to see more of it unfold but I still enjoyed the story and romance overall.
Skyshade starts off where Nightbane book 2 left off, it was a little slower starting off for me personally, but the 40% mark it started picking up. There’s a few plot twists I wasn’t expecting it that really grabbed my attention. Closer to the end of the book the faster everything started to picking up. The action was fast paced, it had me locked in and then BAM it was the end of the book which ends with a cliffhanger. I had to listen to the last few chapters again to process what just happened. The last few chapters had me mind blown trying to process what had happened. Now I can’t wait for the next book and see what happens with the story and characters.
Also, the love triangle is still there but personally I don’t feel it is the main plot line of this book. Isla is more on a mission to figure out what she needs to do to save her people and loved ones without destroying everything. I know a lot of people are driven by the love triangle but I’m so glad this book is more geared toward the actual story line and Isla’s self discovery learning more about her past and what she is capable of and the adventure along the way!
This has been a pleasure to receive an arc of the audiobook of Skyshade from NetGalley and RBmedia. I’ve enjoyed listening to this audiobook to review, thank you so much!
