The Last Hope by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie
4.0

I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

I honestly don’t know where to begin! The Last Hope by Krista & Becca Ritchie picks up thirty days after the end of [b:The Raging Ones|30301147|The Raging Ones (The Raging Ones, #1)|Krista Ritchie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1532351186l/30301147._SY75_.jpg|50783349]. Franny, Court, and Mykal are in a cell on board the Saltare-1 ship Romulus. Their friends – Kinden, the Soarcastle sisters, and Zimmer – are not with them, and they fear the worst. Revelations at the end of book one have left the trio’s minds in chaos. They aren’t Saltarians, they are humans. When an unknown saves them from the Romulus, Franny, Court, and Mykal have one goal: to survive.

Being Human
Court was seriously injured at the end of the first book, and now believes he is dying. His only recourse to be sure that Mykal and Franny survive. But this link between them has him concerned. If he dies, what happens to them? Court was (and is) my favorite character. He finally has opened up to a relationship with Mykal, and this tempers his cool exterior. Court cares too much, and it becomes an issue now that he is linked.

Mykal takes being human in stride. It honestly doesn’t seem to affect him that much. He was raised as a Grenpalish and that is who he is. He worships their gods and remembers the only parent he had. Then he meets Stork(more on him in a minute), the unknown that saves them from Romulus, and well let’s just say, he’s got a new family member
