I reread some of my favourite parts last night.

Oh man, I forgot how much I LOVED this series. It got lost in the dystopia-craze of the 2010s, and I never really heard anyone talk about it, but my god, it's SO GOOD.

Magical. Dark. A compelling romance. Plots twists. Amazing world-building. A complicated main character. 

I wish this series got more hype so I could talk about it with people!!

Vis in magia, in vita vi. In magic there is power, and in power, life. For fifteen years, Lark Ainsley waited for the day when her Resource would be harvested and she would finally be an adult. After the harvest she expected a small role in the regular, orderly operation of the City within the Wall. She expected to do her part to maintain the refuge for the last survivors of the Wars. She expected to be a tiny cog in the larger clockwork of the city. Lark did not expect to become the City's power supply. Her only choice is to escape; follow the birds into the wilderness beyond. Into the Iron Wood Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Skylark is an electrifying tale of magic, secrecy and survival.

I really wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. And I absolutely loved it. 

There were a few moments of wanting to hit Lark in the face, but for the most part, completely believable heroine, wonderful supporting characters, especially Oren and Tansy. I know that Oren will pop up in the second book, maybe save her life a few more times. But oh man, I ship it like fire. Oren/Lark until the day I die.
