Teaser Tuesdays - Skylark by Meagan Spooner




Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser 

"They knew. Somehow, they knew I'd been doing magic. I wasn't being taken to the institute to be harvested-I was being taken to be punished."

by   Pg. 20


From Goodreads
 
Sixteen year-old Lark Ainsley has never seen the sky.

Her world ends at the edge of the vast domed barrier of energy enclosing all that’s left of humanity. For two hundred years the city has sustained this barrier by harvesting its children's innate magical energy when they reach adolescence. When it’s Lark’s turn to be harvested, she finds herself trapped in a nightmarish web of experiments and learns she is something out of legend itself: a Renewable, able to regenerate her own power after it’s been stripped.

Forced to flee the only home she knows to avoid life as a human battery, Lark must fight her way through the terrible wilderness beyond the edge of the world. With the city’s clockwork creations close on her heels and a strange wild boy stalking her in the countryside, she must move quickly if she is to have any hope of survival. She’s heard the stories that somewhere to the west are others like her, hidden in secret – but can she stay alive long enough to find them?
 
Oh. My. GOODNESS times infinity! Skylark is easily my favorite book of the year! It's seriously Epic and not something I'm going to get out of my head any time soon, for a book I just finished I already want to go back for a re-read. Lark is straight up AWESOME, Oren is now number one as a book boyfriend favorite because he's the BEST EVER, and the plot twists and mix of characters nearly had me wishing the book could go on forever and never end. Meagan Spooner is an amazing writer and one that I am going to follow for life, everything written simply must be read! I so can't wait for the sequel Shadowlark to be released - I NEED to know what comes next for Lark!!
