#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel 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. Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

I LOVED this. The first amazing book after the #FourthWingHangover. It was beautiful and lovely and full of betrayal. For, you can‘t trust anyone in the Centennial.

I've heard great things about this... please don't disappoint!

TLuvs This book totally didn't disappoint. Finished in two days, I obviously couldn't put it down. Great plot that continued and never really got stale, the cast of characters where written well, and a great imagination lead to a full exciting world I would love to visit. 4 stars for this YA Fantasy! 5mo

#SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65 My first serial book of 2023 did not disappoint! I cannot wait for book 2. This felt like an exciting mix of hunger games and caravel which means I absolutely loved it! Lots of twists and turns, betrayals and lies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars!

TheSpineView Sounds good!💙📖📚📚📚 9mo

You know what? I loved it!!! (I‘m well aware of all the scandal)
I think this will make a fabulous movie. And while some books like this feel like they‘ll make a good movie but the writing isn‘t great, this is really well written. It had all the beats I wanted from a YA fantasy and none of the things that irritate me.
I listened on audio (fabulous) but will buy the book for my collection, for sure. Give me more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book was good. But book angers me. So I do not like the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
