Rue Famine and Merriment Feast are destined to duel each other to decide which family will reign supreme over Fauret. As they prepare for the battle set for their thirteenth birthdays, they each realize their families are keeping secrets from them that may change their world forever.
An interesting, but somewhat frustrating book where you're left with more questions than answers. Even with series books, I appreciate a series that gives you at least some closure in the individual books, and I'm not sure if I could say that about this. Although the plot is intriguing, some of the character development leaves a bit to be desired. I feel like Rue and Bun (Abundance) aren't really fleshed out as much as they could be, particularly Rue, who is such an integral character.

The Last Great Heir is a brilliant debut children’s novel that deals with very mature topics without making them feel inaccessible to a younger audience.
PROS:
🍰 An interesting take on the haves and have nots
🐈⬛ World building
🍰 Magic system
🐈⬛ Demons
🍰 Very high stakes
🐈⬛ Unreliable world building info provided by the two FMC’s proving that the truth isn’t always what you believe it to be.
CONS:
🍰 The age of maturity being 13 is just a bit uncomfy as a 33 year old. HOWEVER, this wouldn’t have been a problem at all if I was in the correct age range for the audience.
🐈⬛ There are moments where it felt like different Deus Ex Machina were just thrown in to make up for plot holes.
🧪🧪🧪🧪 out of five improperly brewed potions
