Lightlark (Lightlark, #1)
Alex Aster
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.

Guys… I have no words. I was thoroughly surprised by the twists at the end of this book. Like…whaaat?!? All of the BETRAYAL??!!
5Okayyy, loving Grim. But lowkey giving Kai and Kitt vibes with Grim and Oro. And I also need Isla to wise up and start thinking for herself. I think it would do everybody some good.
0I’m definitely enjoying this more than I thought I would already. I like the set up for the plot and the characters, but I honestly have no idea what direction it is going.
