Official Review: The Last Lumenian by S.G. Blaise

[Judy Burr]

Thank you for the review. I read four chapters. Lilla, a 19-year-old princess, and Arrov, a prince from another planet, are on a mission to save refugees. If Lilla is caught, she will be arrested for treason. Congrats to the author for the #BOTD.

This review makes the book sound like a powerful mix of action, emotion, and meaning. I’m especially intrigued by Lilla’s character and the deeper themes around injustice and identity. Definitely curious to check it out!

The Last Lumenian" by S.G. Blaise., a book that features fighting and planets. It will be interesting to read about the princess and her role in the fight on the side rebellion against the Dark Lord of Destruction.

S.G. Blaise’s The Last Lumenian is a fast-paced blend of sci-fi and fantasy, following the journey of Lilla, a fiery and determined 19-year-old princess who rebels against a patriarchal system while discovering her true identity and purpose. With themes of resistance, destiny, and self-empowerment, the novel carves out a unique space in the genre of young adult speculative fiction.

The story is set in a richly imagined galaxy ruled by gods, powerful alien races, and ancient prophecies. Lilla, the rebellious royal of the technologically advanced planet Uhna, is torn between her desire to dismantle oppressive traditions and her sudden thrust into a cosmic battle between the Archgods of Light and Chaos. As the last Lumenian — a being of rare, mystical origin — she must embrace her powers to stand against an impending war and save countless worlds.

Blaise crafts a compelling protagonist in Lilla: relatable, flawed, and emotionally driven. Her internal struggles and character growth are well-paced, supported by snappy dialogue and emotional intensity. The novel mixes court intrigue, space politics, and a dash of romance, especially with Callum, a brooding and honorable commander who helps Lilla grow into her role.

While the book excels in world-building and momentum, the sheer volume of characters, terms, and lore may overwhelm readers unfamiliar with sci-fi/fantasy hybrids. Some secondary characters could benefit from more development, and the plot occasionally rushes through emotional beats. However, these are minor flaws in an otherwise engaging debut.

Verdict:
The Last Lumenian is a captivating introduction to a new series that will appeal to fans of Star Wars, Throne of Glass, and The Hunger Games. With its blend of cosmic stakes, strong female lead, and immersive world-building, this novel is an empowering, imaginative ride that hints at even greater things to come.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

What a lovely fantasy story! I think the protagonist reflects a very real character that would exist in real life due to her virtues and limitations. This is a book that I would definitely enjoy reading over a weekend, when I can take my mind to fantasy worlds.

The Last Lumenian by S.G. Blaise is really a beautiful book and I would love to know if Lilla the princess would be able to save the refugees.

[Limpho Mojakisane]

Thanks for this detailed breakdown. I really like how the review points out the mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and romance; it sounds like a lot is going on, but the author keeps it clear and fast-paced. The way Lilla is written sounds relatable, especially with her flaws and struggles. Also, the theme about respecting others and the contrast between classes and refugees seems like an important part of the story. I’m glad it wraps up well without a cliffhanger, but still leaves some questions for the next book. Definitely sounds like a strong start to a series.

[Ukaegbu Confidence]

Why do all these Dark Lords of Destruction need so many servants and put so many people through misery?. I guess they wouldn't be dark if they didn't do that. Congratulations, "The Last Lumenian" by S.G. Blaise, on BOTD.

The premise of the book, sounds very intriguing. I love the fact that the author was able to add different elements like mages, healers etc. I also like the inclusion of themes such as love, unity, determination etc, In the novel. Awesome review.

[azza lia]

Thank you for a nice detailed review. I do love some sci-fi, but not the romance part. I prefer flawed and likable characters. A rebellious princess fights for the refugees, which seems intriguing. I don't know if I'm going to like Lilla's character. Also, I'm not sure how to feel about the Dark Lord of Destruction being shortened to DLD.

[Splendour Moses]

I really enjoyed reading your review of The Last Lumenian! Lilla’s journey as both a rebel and a magical heir sounds incredibly compelling, especially with the blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements. I appreciate how the book tackles deeper themes like grief and identity while still delivering action and romance. Definitely adding this to my reading list!
