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

[Hunter Tester]

The book itself doesn’t seem like the kind of genre I would be interested in. However, your review made me more intrigued. Well done!

I liked the themes you pointed out and how the author is extra descriptive. I often have a hard time forming images of the characters when I read.

[Francis Aderogbin]

The reviewer did a great job. I am a sci-fi lover and will definitely read this book. I love that the author did a good job in describing the plots and developing the characters.

Romance, epic battles, sci-fi: it seems like a recipe for success. Thanks for an invaluable insight!

[Michelle Menezes]

This book has everything I like, my favourite genres: fantasy, suspense and sci-fi. Also, good character development is a must. I also found the description intriguing. I'm adding this to my TBR. Thank you for the wonderful review.

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

This book has a good mixture of action, romance, suspense, magic, etc. And from what I read in the book sample, it sure is a page-turner.
Thanks for this wonderful review

It sounds like this book has a very interesting use of narrative changes to tell the story. Nice review.

[Wayne Njoroge]

I am greatly fond of science fiction and fantasy novel. Thank you for the review.

[Bertha Jackson]

Fantasy mixed with science fiction, planetarian wars, romance, and magic all in one book. Thank you for your review.

Lots of action and suspense are found in the novel. The reader jumps right into the story at the beginning with Lilla having a panic attack that imperils the refugees’ mission that she and Arrov are undertaking. The novel has a nice oscillation in the action, allowing the readers just enough time to catch their breath before the following high-octane scene occurs.

Finding the right pacing for a certain story is important. Often if the book is so full of action that I can't even catch my breath, I find myself losing interest.

The character development is also superb. The chapters that include Lilla are written from the first-person point of view; all other chapters are written from the third-person point of view. This allows us to get to know her better as well as stay informed of other things pertinent to the story. Lilla is a flawed character, being impetuous, quick to judge, and prone to panic attacks. This makes her seem human and easy to pull for as she is also courageous, loyal, and fights for the weak and oppressed. Her feelings for both Arrov and Callum add more depth to the story.

Character development is essential, and I've found that often books that are full of adventure, overlook it. I'm glad it's not the case.

A distinct theme exists in the novel about treating others respectfully and not disparaging them because they are different. The wealthy people in the tale looked down upon the poor, and the refugees were treated as inconsequential. Everyone could learn from this message.

A fundamental message for all of us.
Thank you for such a thorough review!

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

A science-fiction story that also includes fantasy, action, suspense, and romance. The plot looks interesting as it involves fighting a malevolous and powerful being and a rebellion of refugees. It also conveys good learning.

Character development makes such a difference in one's enjoyment of a story. I enjoyed your description of Lilla and her part in the book. This looks like an engrossing story with memorable characters. Thanks for the recommendation.

So many things can go wrong in an outer-planetary adventure. I like the underlying themes about respecting others. Thanks for a great review!

[Pandora10]

I found the sample of this book to be well-written, with descriptive text. The characters of Arrov, a pilot and Lilla are interesting. Lilla is strong in some ways, although she fights anxiety attacks. I believe this has all the ingredients to appeal to the fantasy, science fiction and adventure fans. Thank you for the excellent review.

[Kajori Sheryl Paul]

Lilla and Arrov's quest to save the refuges and bring justice is admirable.

Thank you for the great review.

I like the adventure that Princess Uhna finds herself in as she tries to free her home planet against the DLD. Great review.
