About this listen

#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers listeners a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel.

Welcome to the Centennial.

Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm’s curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die.

Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial.

To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray...even as love complicates everything.

Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-hear for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

Loved it, listened to the whole book in one go.
Great story, exciting main characters and the story had little to no "filler" content.
Anyone who loves to read books with strong main female characters won't be disapointed. Honestly I might just go and buy the second book today.

Can't wait for the second book

This was such a great experience! Not really a fan of YA, but this book is so well written, the plot and the twists and the characters are so good. While it has a semi-ending, doesn’t really end on a cliffhanger, it still leaves a lot of open questions and I can’t wait to move straight onto the next book.

The narrator did a fine job. If took a bit of getting use to and I don’t particularly like her male characters voice interpretation, but after a while you don’t notice it anymore, otherwise, the pacing and the energy was really good and that is what’s important to me personally.

Amazing
