Synopsis: MOST PRINCESSES NEED SAVING. THIS ONE WILL SAVE YOU.
She is a rebel. Lilla is fighting for the refugees's freedom from oppression. The king, her father, lost touch with reality ever since Lilla's mother died. Now everyone else is paying the price.
The arrival of Callum, a powerful Teryn general, complicates Lilla's life. His presence leads to conflicted feelings and friction with Arrov, a handsome pilot and fellow rebel.
Her life is not what she imagined it to be. Not by far. Meddling gods, love interests and sudden magical abilities have no room in Lilla's world, but that has become her new reality. No matter how hard she pushes them away, it's too late. They all seek to control her anyway.
Now the Era War between two ruling archgods forces Lilla to act: accept who she really is magic and all; find true love; fulfill her destiny by defeating the Archgod of Chaos and Destruction before He finds her. The Last Lumenian.
Review: Overall, this was an ok book. I liked the message behind it, to stand up for what you think is right, and I liked the romance aspect of it. I thought the book’s premise was really good and the plot kept me interested throughout the book.
However, the book is badly written in my opinion. The book immediately jumps into the story without explanation of what’s going on. By page 10 we’re already knee deep into a plot that should have been 150 pages into the book instead. The book is way too fast paced and it does nothing to explain the magic system or the world we’re in. The characters are also not well developed and I didn’t feel anything for anyone.
Verdict: It’s ok, but not for me.
