Book Review - The Last Lumenian



Title - The Last Lumenian
Author - S. G Blaise
Format - kindle

The Last Lumenian by S. G Blaise is an amazing book in sci-fi genre. The story revolves around the protagonist Lilla, a kind hearted, strong and adventurous 19 years old rebel daughter of king Niall. When she was a little girl she lost her mother and his father married a younger lady. She grows up with ignorance. She is doing everything against her father's taste. Read the book to know more about the life journey of Lilla.

My take -
Cover - aptly designed
Title - totally relevant
Plot - perfect amalgamation of
           adventure, thrill, imagination ,science and fiction
Narration - superb and flowing
Language - simple

The story is too much interesting and engaging. The author has also put the burning romance in the story which hooked the readers till the end. The author has portrayed all the incidents amazingly. He has done a great job in maintaining the balance between sci-fi and fantasy.

In nutshell, an enjoyable and fun read.

The cover of the book could have been better. Title of the book is totally aptly. The plot of the story is different and interesting.
