Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2) (Volume 2) (The Lightlark Saga, 2) Hardcover – November 7, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers.
Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned.
As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.
Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

Everything about this book, I loved, and I have no complaints besides the fact that I just wanted MORE! I think this book had the perfect characters, the perfect plot, the perfect pacing, the perfect action and I personally would not have changed anything about these books.
I don’t know how Alex did it, and maybe some people will think I’m overreacting but TO ME this series is magnificent so far. I would do anything to receive a physical copy of the next book. You want my soul? Take it! 😂 I never wanted this story to end and there’s something about the way Alex gives prominence to her readers.
I don’t know what to expect from the next book, but what I can say was I was Team Grim, still Team Grim and will ALWAYS be Team Grim. People might be confused on how but hey, I’m just a sucker for dark, mysterious characters. I know some people were upset about Grims actions, I was too, but I’m a person who considers “intent” and I never believed Grim intended to hurt Isla.
I did not expect that ending, WHO THE HELL WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE MARRIED! But not even that who would have thought Isla was the one to have accidentally killed all those people and the children. My heart breaks for her, and I was conflicted on how to feel with Grim taking her memories because it’s like now she’ll have to grieve all over again. I love Isla and Grim so much, that I honestly can’t even be Team Oro. It’s like, a song I love by Jazmine Sullivan called In Love With Another Man, when Isla said that Enya was right and she doesn’t deserve Oro, I thought about a part in the song and it’s so fitting:
“You should go and find someone else, who could treat you right, give you the world
Someone who understands the man you are, cause baby you shine so bright and I will just dim your star”
And if you know anything about Oro and his powers that last part is completely HIM! Im so ready for whenever book 3 comes out. I have to thank Alex for making her imagination into a book, if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to read this remarkable book. I would just like to say if you love fantasy with romance, action packed scenes, incredible magic systems, enemies to lovers, shadow daddies, then this book is for you! Don’t make me tell you twice!
I feel like this entire book could’ve ended in 200 pages if Grim just told Isla what was going on. Like just explain to her the reasoning behind attacking Lightlark instead of waiting for her memories to resurface. So dumb and frustrating. This whole book was like a big miscommunication trope. Also, I still don’t see how that justifies killing innocents when he could just explain everything instead. I want to be team Grim so bad, but I just can’t because he’s beyond toxic.
Makes me want to pull my hair out.
This sequel, at times, could have gone so many different ways. There are no spoilers here, so you will have to suss out the clues for yourself and the clues that were given didn’t ruin that extraordinary ending. Sadly, it does end on a cliffhanger and now to wait till November 12th for Skyshade (the Lightlark Saga book 3) to come out. I highly recommend this series and have already pre-ordered book 3. Happy reading.
