    #2 in The Lightlark Saga. This story reveals more information about the different realms which make the overall story easier to understand. This is everything you expect in a YA fantasy, enemies to lovers, a love triangle, Wildling, Starling & Nightshade powers and abilities, twists and turns and of course it finishes on a cliffhanger.

    # 3 Red Rising Trilogy. A marathon but very satifying ending - you could stop here but there are 4 more books in the series. In #3 the story continues to follow Darrow a "Red" low caste miner on Mars who discovers his people have been lied to and are oppressed by the ruling "Golds". He infiltrates the Gold rulers and fights from within.

    #2 Letters of Enchantment duology ok so the story of the Gods came together much better in this second book of the duology. Iwould argue the story would have been just as good (and less confusing without the Gods. But a sweet story, great writing and good entertainment

    By Pip Harry
    5 stars

    Verse novel told in alternating chapters by Luna and her new neighbour Nate. A heartfelt story suitable for 12-14 year olds, issues of environment, cyber bullying, loneliness, mental health and the healing power of running, swimming , friendship & family come together in an ultimately uplifting authenthic story. Highly recommended

  • A psalm for the wild-built

    Little sci-fi slice of life. A tea monk and a robot try and make sense of their world. Non binary characters. Thoughtful and cute

    Gorgeous prose. Aspiring writers/journalists, a magical typewriter, war time setting, low fantasy, sweet romance. Beautiful character driven writing. Don't try to understand the time period/setting/world of this story (it really doesn't make sense) and enjoy the beautiful writing much of which is letters written to and from the main two characters. 1st in a series . A sweet read and gorgeous prose but the world building is appalling... maybe that is rectified in #2?

  • Lightlark

    By Alex Aster
    4 stars

    YA fantasy 6 realms, 6 rulers pitted against each other, powers, a little romance and a curse to break. Despite the setting there's not lots of world building or depth to characters in this fast and fun fantasy. Don't get too caught up trying to understand all the realms and the game rules, just roll with it and you'll enjoy the ride.
