<p>On Today's episode, we're doing a deep dive into 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 all readers and it's working to their advantage. It's time to wake up. So, let's talk about it.
