I loved this book so much. It was amazing! I loved how Isla grew as a character and that we got more backstory on her and some other characters. This also has so many twists I never saw coming. Thank you Netgally for letting me listen to it on audiobook. I can’t wait for the next one.

I can’t stop recommending the light lark saga. It has definitely been one of my favorite reads this year and I was desperate to read Skyshade , but was given the opportunity to do the Audiobook and I was pleasantly impressed. Loved the story and the narrator did a great job on this Audiobook.

“If waging a war for one woman is a crime then please do consider me a criminal.

If killing thousands to keep you alive is wrong then consider me a villain.

If loving you is my downfall then consider me already on my knees.”

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Mainly because I have heard SOO many mixed reviews. And though it did take me a while to finish, it was actually a fairly easy read and listen for me.

This book is a Grim lovers dream 💭
I ate that ish UP- ugh.

But truly wish this would’ve been the last book, I’m not sure of how much more I can do for this series 😅

I loved the first two books in this series and was ready for this one to wrap it up. Too many books in a live triangle can really get exhausting.

I enjoyed the first two books but this one fell a bit flat for me. At times it felt repetitive and Isla really annoyed me. I also think at this point the love triangle trope is overplayed, we are at the third book and now she has her memories back but there is still a love triangle?
Overall this was good and I will be reading the next one but it just felt a bit drawn out.
Grim stole the show for me!
I thought the narrator did an incredible job!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and RBmedia for the ALC..

4.75 ⭐️

I really liked this book! It definitely was not as high action and shocking as the first 2 books but I feel like everything in this book will be important to the storyline in future books.

I also appreciate Alex's ability to leave the absolute WORST cliffhangers at the end of all of her books. That being said, I cannot wait for the next book and hope I will be considered for the ARC for that as well.

I went in thinking that was going to be the final book, but the cliffhanger at the end 🤯 have no words! When is the next one out???

Sensational and jawdropping third installment! Alex Aster has crafted a creative and compelling magical world with electrifying characters, magnetic chemistry and creative plots to keep reasers hooked through the whole series!

Grim and Isla better be endgame. Like the love triangle feels forced at this point. I was team Oro for a good portion of books 1 & 2 but after the growth Isla and Grim have had together as a couple in this book I just don’t see how she’s still conflicted. Oro is a good man. He’s just not the man for Isla. I honestly hate that he still loves her ☹️ it makes me feel like his death is inevitable because we know she won’t fully let him go otherwise. The romance really carries this series though. Isla having more and more power in every book and being the special chosen one is getting old imo. I honestly wish this had been a three book series, especially since it seems every book is going to end on an emotional cliffhanger 🫠

I have been dying to read this installment in Alex Aster’s “Lightlark” universe since I finished the first two books over the summer! The audiobook was a great listen, and kept me company over a 12 hour road trip! I am Team Grim 100000% and I will die on that hill. I won’t spoil it but I don’t share Isla’s inability to make that decision. Sacrifices must be made hahah! I won’t lie, I wish this wrapped up the series but 2 more books are coming next year. So I will trust Alex!

I found this series at the beginning of summer this year and I looove the storyline. Amazing plot and this third installment was also so good!

Having to wait even longer to see with Team Grim or Team ORo comes out of top is killing me! Another chapter in the story that gives us quests, love, angst, and hope. Waiting for Grim’s story next.

2.5 I wanted to like this SO bad. It felt like the love triangle was forced, and Isla was giving me whiplash. The dream sent me. I have faith that Alex will pull it all together in book 4!

I was expecting something more. The love triangle in this book had my head spinning. The ending left me wanting more! But the narrator did amazing!

Thank you NetGalley and RBMedia for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

It was a slow start but even though I’d missed the first two books I got really into it, you just have to push through a bit at the start cause it truly is worth it. I’d say after the 50% mark is where all the good stuff is , if you’re more into the action though the first 50% really is necessary figuring stuff out time. I definitely think I would have enjoyed the whole book more if I’d read the previous ones cause I wasn’t connected to the characters however the unique plot and action really wins me over. I love it so much. I can’t wait to read book 1 to future book 4 !!

I'll be publishing my review on Goodreads and StoryGraph 28th December and on Tik tok most likely will add to a monthly wrap up post with review the beginning of January

Absolutely loved this installment in the series! That cliffhanger was brutal though. Can't wait for the next book!!

"If waging a war for one woman is a crime, then please do consider me a criminal.

If loving you this much is my downfall then consider me already on my knees."

This was my least favorite book in the series so far. I’ve rated Lightlark 3.75 stars and Nightbane 4.25 stars.
I always tought this was going to be a triology and was excited for the last and final part. When I heard that early ARC readers found out it was not the final book, I was a little concerned. I was afraid the story and the love triangle were going to be a little dragged.
I still went in excited but unfortunately this was exactly how this book felt to me, a little dragged.
There were a lot of side quests and the plot was all over the place, this made me sometimes a bit confused.

The twists and turns in this book were really great.
I also understand why Isla likes these both man but I will be forever team Grim. The things this man says and does 🫠🫠. I think if it wasn't for him, this book got a half star less.
At this point I have a feeling that we might get a 'why choose' situation in the next book.
Imagine Isla on the throne with these two powerful men at her sides. 🔥
There were also some open door spicy scènes, so I guess these books are no longer YA 👀.

Overall I still enjoyed this book just had higher expectations.

I listened to the audiobook on the NetGalley app.
The narrator's voice was really nice to listen to.
I want to thank NetGalley gifting me this ARC.

"You said you I don't know what love is.
But I do...
I know it means us being infinite.
It means our fates being tied together regardless of where we are whether we live or die.
I'm not sure of much in this world Isla, but I'm sure of this. My love for you doesn't know reason, its doesn't know limit, it doesn't know death.
In every universe, in every timeline I'm yours and you are mine."

This series is my first read from the author's work and I absolutely fell in love with her writing style. This is the third and the final installment in the series and it was as impressive as the previous parts of this series.
The characters are mesmerizing and the amazing plotline kept me hooked to the series from the beginning till the very end of this book.

(2.5) I'm a bit perplexed, I was under the impression this was to be a trilogy but the way this ends doesn't make it seem that way? The way this was paced I was so confused as to how it could possibly wrap up but well... if there so more books then that would make the pacing make sense. But for me, this book just didn't feel necessary. Beyond the last 20%, I just felt like nothing was really happening. And maybe this is a bit of a spoiler but I am so over the love triangle. It just felt cruel in this one. I'm not sure I'll continue with the series. I liked the writing and I really enjoyed book 1 but I'm losing steam.

The narration was good although the male narration isn't what I expected.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

I just caught up with all of Lightlark and I must admit (reluctantly) that I’m still not convinced, The pacing of this addition to the saga, fit the same mold as the others. As always, I love Grim: He’s a well crafted flawed character. His feuding dark and light is so relatable even if he is fantastical. When he’s on the page, the story flows easily. Grim is a book boyfriend through and through.

There was a lot happening in the story and at the end of the day, all I wanted was to see more Grim! I am also over the love triangle. It was never my favorite but I hoped it would dwindle. Plus it always feels like the triangle comes back just when you’ve forgotten about it. I also thought this book was going to be the last and it would tie up the storyline. I feel a little lost not having a conclusion. Grim definitely carries this book, and if you’re a Grim girly, you’ll remain one. I feel a desire to continue the series just for him.

The audiobook was a little odd for me . The female parts were fine, but when the whispery male voice started, It just didn’t match the characters in my head. It made me picture weaker male characters and I could almost feel my brain resetting the tone I heard when I thought it didn’t match the character in that moment.

The book was complicated and my emotions were everywhere and nowhere at once.
