Lightlark is an awful, overhyped failure from the Cult of BookTok

On Today's episode, I'm ripping apart TikTok's least favorite YA Fantasy novel Lightlark by Alex Aster. We're also discussing how the author was a BookTok industry plant, how popularity is controlling the publishing industry, and how horribly overhyped Lightlark was. At this rate the publishing industry is trolling us all and it's working to their advantage. It's time to wake up. So, let's talk about it.
