THE TITLE IS TERRIBLE!!! IT SHOULD GO WITH THE OTHER TITLES!!! SKY-LARK, SHADOW-LARK, AND THIS ONE SHOULD BE S......-LARK. Does anyone have any title names that they think would be good? It should start with an "S" and end in lark. Spiritlark, Starlark, Sunlark, Stormlark, Spylark,......I'm cheesy. I know, but I enjoy series when their titles are SOMEHOW related.
I figured I would finish this series in one go. I liked this book better than book 2. I think I read it twice as fast. I liked the addition of Eve but I would've like to have seen her character more fleshed out. Also, I would've liked more of a look at the future for Lark. Overall, a good series but I don't recommend waiting 5 years between reading book 1 & 2 as I did.
YES! I FINISHED IT! I loved this trilogy so much! I would recommend it to anyone! I love Lark and Nix and Oren and just everyone! I love how it’s not just focused on romance but also family and friends! I did find a few typos but oh well. Definitely a good read!!
Lark must go home. To the city where she was tortured and betrayed, then forced to flee.The city, itself, is more than the architects who betrayed her. And she is no longer alone. She has Nix, Oren, and Kris. OK, Kris was an architect; Nix is a machine; and Oren still has the shadow inside him.But so does Lark. And she may always have it if she does not find a way to save her city. In fact, if she does not, then everyone in the city may become a shadow.Far sooner than anyone cares to realize. Wa...
This third book in the Skylark Trilogy is fantastic! It was so on target, delivering a wonderful third book in the trilogy! I have become so afraid of reading the final book in trilogies lately, having been disappointed on several occasions by authors who had a great first book, cliff-hanging second book and then a big let down in the third book, but this was not at all the case in Lark Ascending. If anything, the third book was the best of the three.I LOVED the characters right from the start.
I think the only person more pleasantly surprised by this series is, well me. I am not kidding when I say that I found this series and conclusion satisfying. I'm not sure if it's because I was in the right mood for it or because the book is actually really well thought out and executed. Lark Ascending went back to what I really liked about the first book and tweaked somethings that kind of deterred me from the second book to deliver what I would say to be a worthy end. Clark's character arc and
Amazing! I think I lost some details while reading this story in English instead of my home language, but what I understood was stunning. Great ending of this trilogy.
You guys are going to LOVE this. Trust me. Everything you've been hoping for, all in one book.
Yayy! Another book series that I can mark as completed. I've probably started who knows how many series this year, but being able to complete one is always a good thing.This series as a whole is just average for me. There is something really unique and interesting about it, but at the same time, it still leaves me scratching my head. I don't think the world is explained in a way that I understand it. I still have a lot of questions about how it ended, how it began, how its population even lives....

Read This Review & More Like It At Ageless Pages ReviewsI’d like to start by reminding our readers that my Skylark review was 5 stars and I named it my favorite book of 2012. My Shadowlark review was a bit more reluctant, but it was still a 4 star rating. This review does feature spoilers for previous books in the trilogy. A popular review of the final Skylark book says,"Trust me. Everything you've been hoping for, all in one book."And that is completely true. Provided what you're hoping...
2.5 stars - SpoilersLiked it more than the first two books, it wasn't anything great though, it was just a very average sort of dystopian book. -The plot wasn't particularly exciting, it was the the usual run-of-the-mill YA dystopia with teens battling the people in power. -Lark was mostly bland, she was generic in her thoughts and actions, there was nothing that stood out about her. Like every YA heroine, she acted like an insufferable martyr and as if everything was her responsibility. Her con...
2020 3 to 3.5 starsThe ending wasn't terrible. Or bad. It was okay. And mostly uplifting. I was a little sad about Nix, but that was basically the biggest loss. And everything else basically turned out right. I thought that the book was more interesting (in the lead up to the ending) than the second book for sure. About a tie with the first book. My biggest issue was with the ending. Again, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as I was expecting. Lark has this littler hero complex thing
After a really strong start with Skylark and a pretty great follow-up in Shadowlark, I thought I knew what to expect with the conclusion to Spooner’s imaginative debut series. I was pretty thrilled when my request for Lark Ascending was granted on NetGalley, but as I finally got to sit down and start reading this book, I found my enthusiasm waning.I’m not really sure what I was expecting from the final book in this trilogy, aside from the obvious goal that Lark had been heading toward from the v...
**4.5 Stars**I received a copy from NetGalley for an honest review.I can't believe it is over. What a journey Lark has lead us through. New characters appeared and old ones came back. Lark's journey to find out the truth becomes a fight for survival for not only her, but all the people around her as well - Renewable and human. As she struggles with the shadow within her, a new power comes to light - one that Lark seems to be alone in her distrust. Lark and Oren's relationship is tested - more th...
The conclusion to the series was just as I expected. Lark decides time and time again that she must leave Oren, the boy she loves, and sacrifice her life to save everyone. Seriously, that's the whole story. Over and over again.
Not my favorite. She was poised to enact great change (from how the second book ended), but there was very little action in this book, mostly dithering and stumbling around and accidentally figuring out the fix. I was disappointed in the ending: how accidental it all was, and where Lark ended up, even though her theme throughout was finding a place to belong.

I just - I have so many emotions, am a little overwhelmed. I love that we came full circle back to the Wall. That we are confronted with what exactly the Institute did to the Renewable they were using - to Eve - but that no one person was villanised for it. Not completely.full review: http://www.foldedbetweenthepagesofboo...
Well, I've been waiting a goddamn time for this book. The previous installments of the Shadowlark trilogy was mind-blowing and I can believe that this one will be as good or maybe even better.I desperately hope there will be a movie adaptation of this book. That would make my world a better place.
