The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli
5.0
“Once there was a girl who was drawn to wicked things”
There was once a Namsara, a hero spreading love and laughter to all. But there always has to be a villain right? Introducing the Iskari, otherwise known as the death-bringer. Fast forward in time, in a realm called Firgaard, Asha is the daughter of the Dragon King and has grown up with stories of this genre being told in hushed whispers, stories of which are forbidden. Asha, known as a modern day Iskari, is drawn to the forbidden stories and becomes the most feared dragon slayer in the realm. She lures dragons into her company, only to slay them and take the head to the king. Betrothed to the cruel commandant who saved her life years previously, Asha is given an ultimatum to gain freedom by her father. Will she succeed or be forever betrothed to the cruel commandant? The Last Namsara follows Asha’s journey to freedom and all that transpires with that journey.
I am utterly speechless. Kristen Ciccarelli is an actual genius. This book is amazing. I mean there are dragons. DRAGONS! What is there not to like? I finished this book last night and I am only just writing this review as I could not bring myself to admit that the book was over. Kristen’s writing style is just beautiful, it captivated me from the first sentence and I could not put it down from that moment onwards. I am proud to admit that I ugly cried during this story, actually ugly cried. I felt so connected with the characters and the romance, well the romance is something else! You just need to read this book, I could talk about it forever. I don’t think I could say a bad thing about it!
