LitPick Review
"Trust yourself, Lark! Trust Yourself!" Before Lark's world was torn upside down she lived in Merith. There she was the shy, timid girl with a gift that hurt. Now she rules Tarnec, a safe haven for horses and home to the Guardians' amulets. Lark is a Guardian fighting against evil. She doesn't know this in the beginning, but she will. Balance is tipping and Chaos is slipping in. The council needs their Guardians now more than ever. Lark, the Life Guardian, must find and rescue the Life Amulet. If not Troths, Swifts, and Breeders will ruin the whole world.
Opinion:
I loved this book! It has definitely earned a place on my favorites shelf. As I read this book, it made me feel the characters and see through their eyes. One of my favorite parts is when Lark takes the orb and feels it shimmer and shine with radiance because her heart is pure. When Lark misinterprets that Gharian, her supporter, was to be with Evie, her cousin, I felt sad right along with her. I did not like all the pain and suffering. I can't wait to find out what happens next. The next book is about Evie and I hope it is as good as Lark Rising. I recommend this book to 13+ who enjoy fantasy, and especially for fans of Brandon Mull's "Fablehaven."
