This sounds like an intriguing fantasy novel, and the author has clearly put a lot of thought and care into designing his world. Lilla seems like an interesting character and a good pick for female lead. Thanks for the review.

I appreciate authors who write flawed protagonists, as this helps me to relate to them so much more. I'm not too fond of love triangles, but the plot seems strong enough to hold my attention despite this. I love a mixture of science-fiction and fantasy, and I am looking forward to reading this novel. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

Great job on the review! I like that there are plenty action packed scenes to keep the reader engaged. The author has created a sci-fantasy that is entertaining and intriguing. The blend of romance, action, and magic with fantastic descriptions drew me to the book. I can't wait to find out if Lilla fulfilled her role and who she chose between Arrov and Callum.

Teryn warriors are fighting the Archgod of Chaos and Destruction, also known as DLD (Dark Lord of Destruction). DLD is surreptitiously transforming the inhabitants of several planets into his dark servants, who are doing his fighting for him and are practically impossible to kill.

Refugees have fled from these planets and sought protection in Uhna, where they have been forced into camps and abused. Lilla is the 19-year-old princess of Uhna, who is unhappy with the way her planet is being run. She secretly joins the refugee’s rebellion and is working with others, including Arrov, a handsome prince from the planet A’ice, to save the refugees. If caught, she will be arrested for treason.

DLD is now secretly on Uhna and making plans to take over the planet. Some of the Teryns have arrived on the planet to try to forge a coalition with the Uhnans to fight him. The Teryn general, Callum, seems to be drawn to Lilla. The only way DLD can be stopped is with the aid of the last Lumenian, who, unknown to her, is Lilla. Will she accept her duty, discover her powers, and control them in time to influence the outcome of the war?

The Last Lumenian by S.G. Blaise is both a fantasy and science-fiction novel with plenty of romance mixed in. Several planets with futuristic technologies take part in the tale. Magic abounds with an archgod, an archgoddess, mages, healers, shape-shifters, etc. The author’s prose is easy to understand and descriptive, offering the reader a clear mental picture of the story.

This book reads like it is a new chapter of Star Wars. While the characters and planets have different names, the goal is the same. World domination and turn the people into slaves. This was a good sample of this book but the official review gave me a much better understanding of what was going on. Excellent official review.

This is a unique storyline, unlike anything I have read. I like that the main character is a woman. I also appreciate the author's creativity, I like a book full of action and suspense. This seems like the perfect read for me.

The story seems quite action packed and full of suspense! Science fiction stories are definitely interesting to me. I hope Lilla freed herself and her people from the DLD. I am sure there's many societal lessons to be learnt alongside the entertainment.
