The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young
4.0
Adrienne Young takes us on a fantastical journey through the backstreets of Bastian, accompanying Bryn as she fights to prove herself in the eyes of her uncle and honour the legacy of her parents.
The world of The Last Legacy is a dark, mysterious realm in which powerful family dynamics rule the roost. Adrienne Young has developed this in the mind of readers with tremendous results. I was absorbed into a musty, gritty underworld that is Bastian as soon as Bryn arrived on the dock. Adrienne’s descriptive prowess is something to behold. As Bryn learns more about Bastian, the picture in my mind grows, it is a fantastic experience of world building that is rare to find.
The character of Bryn is a character of depth and intrigue. A multi-layered person with increasing dimensions throughout the story, Bryn is a powerful lead with a balance of intelligence and common sense which aids her development and standing within the Roth family. The family around Bryn all have very distinct personalities and it is testament to Adrienne’s writing that the reader is easily able to distinguish between them all. This aids the reading of this book as it makes the depth of the story brilliant but also very easy to understand and follow.
An excellent standalone story in Adrienne Young’s universe that has developed a want to journey further into this world for me. Give The Last Legacy a go, it really is a brilliant book.
