The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli

4.5 ⭐️
This book is so underrated. I could not put it down and I devoured it in one sitting. Things it includes that I loved:
-Non-stereotypical, well done POC rep
-A smart, driven protagonist
-Phenomenal worldbuilding. Literally the world building kept me HOOKED.
-And did I mention DRAGONS????
The slave-royalty relationship mentioned in the synopsis made me hesitate because I thought it would be very toxic and concerning, but honestly, it was nothing of sorts. It was a cute, fluffy romance and the author addressed the elephant in the room every time it came to their relationship, which I personally appreciated.
Something I did not like though, was the loose mention of “slave” in the book. It felt ignorant to actual historical events. Even in a fantasy’s world, I feel as thought another word could have been utilized.
Overall it’s a really well-done concept. I will be putting off reading book two, only because it follows two different characters, but do plan on reading it soon!
