 LightLark by Alex Aster is a gripping story. The binding curses limiting Isla leave me wanting to read more. Through her exploration of her identity through the games and who she must be, she pulls on my heart. From the relationships she makes to each choice, it moves the story. I truly enjoyed reading LightLark, and the plot twist was bewildering for me. The way the story unfolds to reveal so much is eye-opening. The writing is beautiful, and I recommend any reader interested in fantasy  to enter the world of LightLark.
