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!

very intriguing

There was a lot of explaining that took place throughout the entire book. It was a little much. I understand it was necessary for the story to unfold. Other than that, I couldn't get enough. I can't wait to read the next book.

Enemies to Lovers? Check.

I adored the world building and the character development most, and this is a fantastic enemies to lovers story ever. My favorite, in fact.

Enemies—to-lovers= CRACK

I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this book. However I sat. I listened. I devoured. Enemies to lovers anything give it to me I will eat that up all day long. I don’t care what it is! Give it to me it is a drug—I am addicted. I went out and bought Nightbane and just got Skyshade!

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.

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!!

Intrigued

I really enjoyed this first book of the series and wasn’t expecting all that happened near the end; some of it, but definitely not all. I would recommend this book.
