About this listen

WELCOME TO THE CENTENNIAL

Every hundred years, the island of Lightlark appears for only one hundred days to host a deadly game, where the rulers of six realms fight to break their curses and win unparalleled power. Each ruler has something to hide. Each curse is uniquely wicked. To break them—and save themselves and their realms—one ruler will die.

To survive, Isla Crown must

LIE.

CHEAT.

BETRAY.

Even as love complicates everything …

Special Edition with bonus Grim chapter included at the end!

Amazing!!

I LOVED this one!! I haven’t gotten this into a book since I last read TOG and that’s saying a lot for me! This was an incredible listen. Amazing plot, fun twists, and a great voice actor as well! Highly recommend!!

Confusing at first

It had some repetitive adjectives, but it’s mostly a good story. Twist at the end was really great

Hmm

I wish they had gotten a guy to speak the male voices because it sounds so weird having a very clear female voice voicing men. Other than that it was great.

Lots of scheming and plotting

This book was fun to listen to. I liked the 100 days every 100 years to reverse a curse. Lots of drama and scheming and plotting. Add in a few plot twists and some magic and love. This world has a lot of different countries and different types of magic that each of the rulers have. I also liked that Isla didn’t have a crutch of magic making up her personality so she learned how to fight and survive without magic.

Loved it

I wasn’t expecting to love this book but I was hooked since it started. I loved how the FMC developed through the book and how she used her badass skills. What a change of events at the end but loved it more! Just starting book two!

The suspense!

I alternated between the audiobook and book.
I give this book a 3.5-4 stars and the audiobook 4.5 stars.

Think of The Hunger Games but darker and magical and you get Lightlark.
The fmc Isla Crown has to fight for her people and realm to break a terrible curse on an island that appears every 100 years. There are so many secrets, twists and turns, and lies from a the rulers and will keep you on your toes.

At first I found the story confusing but started to enjoy it. Like most fantasy books-it starts a bit slow so you can understand the backstory but the suspense is worth the wait.
The reason I was a bit iffy on the rating is because I had a hard time keeping track of some of the names, powers, and different groupings.
I definitely didn’t guess the major plot towards the end which I appreciated because I like the surprise of a good fantasy.
There is also a little bit of a love triangle going on between 2 of the rulers so I can’t wait to see what happens next.
The story does end on a bit of a cliffhanger.
