Week 47 Review: Skyshade

From Goodreads:

The pulse-pounding third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Lightlark Saga, by acclaimed author and #BookTok sensation Alex Aster

Love kills kingdoms…

Back in Grim's castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two.

Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.

As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle's final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.

With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world—or destroy it.

My Review:

Oh, I just loved reading this book! I've really enjoyed this series, and I couldn't wait until this latest installment! The previous book ended on a pretty big note, with a lot of big changes, and I had to know what was going to happen next! 

Isla is dealing with a lot. With what her power did, and that she's in love with Oro and Gim, and married to Grim-but she's only recently regained all her memories of Grim. That there's the prophecy that she's going to kill one of them or the other, yeah, that's a pretty sticky situation! 

Honestly, I didn't know where I wanted this book to go. I loved Oro and Grim, but I didn't know who would be better with Isla, and I had to read this book to find out who she wanted to be with, in the end. So I had a burning reason to keep reading! 

With the reveal that they came from a different place, yeah, that's a game changer. It was a really complicated problem, and Isla had to work through it. I had such a great time watching her do so, as new information came to light, and I had to know what she was going to do! 

I didn't know before going into this book if it was the last book in the series or not. Around the time that I was finishing this book, I saw an interview with Alex Aster saying that there was going to be more, so yeah, knowing that, and seeing how this book ended, I need to know what's going to happen next! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait for book 4!
