The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli
5.0
This book...wow. This was totally unexpected.
First off, let me start by saying... dragons
The Last Namsara had everything I wanted. Amazing world building. Political intrigue. Character development. A cute romance. dragons and so much more.
Asha is the Iskari. When she was younger she used to tell old stories, but old stories have a way of attracting dragons. That is why they were forbidden. Because of her treachery her stories brought out the last dragon Kovu who ended up burning half of Asha's body and raizing her land. To make it up to the people for what she had done, she became the Iskari, the dragon hunter. Feared by all, fearful of none. To relieve her of her marriage alliance with the King's commandment, her father (the Dragon King) gives her a task: Find the last dragon Kovu, kill him and rid the land of old stories. Asha wants to do what she's told, but when the Old One and Elorma--the last Namsara--give her gifts in exchange for tasks through her dreams she is forced to put the dragon hunting on hold and start to remember who she truly is.
I don't have much to say expect how good I thought this was. With the dragons and the ties, and the stories in the past. This was such a well-rounded fantasy. It was so good.
