Everything I have heard of this book, your review included, seems to point to the importance of asking why each element of a fictional setting exists. Why does there need to be a centennial event? Why does it need to be 100 days, or fifty days or whatever? What is the purpose of there being rules, or structure to it / what does it serve to do it one way instead of another way? And not the given explanations; what are the meta reasons these are being implemented? Here's a good one; why is it important, on a meta-writing level, for the lead character to have no magic powers in a magic world? Every review doesn't seem to cover a plot point that would prove it to be useful for the writer. The whole point of Hobbits seeming so physically weak compared other races of middle-earth is to then emphasize themes in the story. Why is the main character of Lightlark magic-less in a magical world? That seams like a "point" but from everything I've heard it serves no purpose.
Chocolate cake with ranch dressing - that's a yikes combo
Was kind of a yikes book
There’s a lot of things I could point out in this review. But since it’s Lightlark I’m not gonna blame anyone for getting stuff in this book wrong.
I really tried to catch stuff and take notes but this book was costed in attention Teflon.
17:17 Don't you mean, *sneak* into conversation? I'll see myself out.
Banishment!

Um, no, past tense of "sneak" can be EITHER "snuck" OR "sneaked". Check Merriam-Webster, if you don't believe me. Check Wiktionary. Whatever.
