I gave “Lightlark” 4 stars because I loved the plot. I thought this was one of the more addictive plots I’ve read in a while so that really carried it. However, if you want amazing characterization and the ability to describe character traits this is not the book for you. There was a lack of development on the personalities of some characters that I really wish had been there. But I really enjoyed the main character, and the idea of dark and light love interests is always a great love triangle in books.
