This looks like a series young ladies will follow closely. I am an old lady, but I like that Lilla isn't a damsel in distress. I see a Hermione Granger in her. The author claims the book will make the reader forget the raging pandemic. Will it deliver the goods?

The characters' names are cool except for DLD who could definitely use a better name. The story is too predictable for me, though.

I love the action and suspense described in this review. It sounds like there are some great characters in the story. I can’t wait to read about Lila. Thanks for the great review and congrats on the BOTD

This sci-fi novel has a very interesting plot. I like the picturesque descriptions of this other world where there are men with blue skin and dark blue hair. It should be a good read.

The Last Lumenian by S.G. Blaise seems a fully constructed story. It has fights, enemies, heroes, different planets, etc. I like this kind of novels. Congratulations on #BOTD.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction / fantasy novel set in a universe where a being of evil, DLD (Dark Lord of Destruction), invades worlds and turns the inhabitants into his evil and nearly immortal servants. The refugees of these planets flee to the planet Uhna but are placed into camps. The planet's princess and the only force that can fight DLD, the Teryn warriors, must band together to make sure that Uhna does not fall to the DLD. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The plot of this sci-fi fantasy seems quite intriguing, and the idea of uniting the citizens of different planets to fight their common enemy known as Dark Lord of Destruction is astounding.

This sounds like a book I would enjoy. Pi like charaxters with strong convictions, but yet has flaws like Lilla. Thanks for the review, I will be sure to read this one.

Post by Ann Ogochukwu »

I like sci-fi/fantasy books, but I'm not sure about this one. The book is just too similar, both in title and plot, to another book I read recently, and I don't think I appreciate that. Nonetheless, I'll check it out to confirm my observation.
Thank you for this interesting review.

The title of the book itself gives me goosebumps. The review is interesting as well. The book sounds like the kind of book I'd really enjoy reading. DLD sounds like a very interesting character.

The science fiction coupled with a lot of action are attractive features in the #BOTD. The romance aspect sounds tasteful as well. Great review, I like well developed character stories and am going to check it out.

Sci-fi and romance are usually a great match. Your detailed recount of this book makes it seem like a must read for sci-fi fans.

I love the genre of science fiction and this one adds to the punch by giving some important lessons to the reader, for example, the refugee crisis. I look forward to reading it.
