Skyshade (The Lightlark Saga Book 3) (Volume 3) Hardcover – 12 Nov. 2024

Skyshade is the third book in the LightLark series by Alex Aster, and where to start with this book!It has been a long time since I have been completely obsessed with a series as much as I have been with these books, and this instalment did not disappoint and was on another level.The book is a continuation on from the aftermath of the centennial, and Isla is not only grappling with how to break the curse thrust upon them all, but she is also battling her feelings between an old and new love.With a prophecy which states she will either save the realms or destroy them, as a reader you have absolutely no idea how it may end. The incredible writing and well/thought out plot, makes it a non-stop guessing game, and always expect the unexpected!The one thing I am absolutely certain of, is that nothing could make me ever hate Grim. I’m always a sucker for the bad ones in books, and Grim has some lines which absolutely wrecked me, and shows 100 percent that his love has no bounds.I am impatiently waiting for the next books in this series to be released, and hope I’m not waiting too long, as I NEED to know what happens after one epic cliffhanger!This book is perfect for romantasy lovers, and I would recommend reading as part of the series rather than a standalone. The series is targeted as YA fantasy, but the spice was amped up in this book! 🔥Perfect for those who love books with non-stop twists, are looking for an addictive page-turner and love romance and fantasy. You will not be disappointed by this fictional realm.

It was a tiny bit fast pace, but overall it was amazing!! I laughed, cried and gasped at all the twists and turns in this book and the ending was so satisfying

loved the book except one of the pages were not printed properly some if the page was in the book but the other part was on a separate page

Great next book in the series. Lots of twists and turns. Very much looking forward to what happens in the next book.

Wait, what just happened? 🥹 what a journey Isla has been through, her growth, self discovery and acceptance has been so huge throughout the series so far, I can’t wait to see what’s next

Very happy, bought for my daughter, birthday present and she is very happy,

Great 3rd book

The overall idea/plot isn't awful, though on times very linear. It definitely could have been more carefully mapped out.Mostly, I was frustrated with the writing. There were so many times when the author could have developed the characters and overall narrative further. So many times when the characters themselves could have been showing things in their actions, or telling us through their dialogue, instead we are just informed of things by the author.I'm confused how anyone can say this is a great series. It needs a rewrite, an editor, or a ghostwriter who knows what they are doing.
