The Last Lumenian Series

Disclosure: I received reviewer copies and was compensated to share my review of the Last Lumenian series. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Every year I challenge myself to read a minimum of 50 books. As a fast reader It’s pretty ‘easy’ to get through a book per week when I set my mind to it. Last year I read a decent amount, but I didn’t come anywhere near my goal. With a new baby, finding time to read is harder and distractions are easy to come by. 

Accomplishing my goal for 2021 means picking books that hold my attention and are relatively fast reads. Fantasy books and YA novels are a core part of my reading menu over the last few years and the Last Lumenian by S.G. Blaise hits all my requirements as a book that will help me get closer to my reading goals. 

The Last Lumenian series follows 19-year-old princess Lilla as she joins the rebellion to help free her people from a lifetime of hard labor in the diamond mines. When Lilla discovers her magical abilities that thrust her into a war she is forced to accept her destiny as the Last Lumenian. The second book of the series, The True Teryn continues to follow Lilla as she embraces her role as general to the Archgoddess of the Eternal Light and Order. 

I’m drawn to strong female protagonists and love how Lilla develops from rebellious teenage princess to a strong-willed leader empowered to challenge the status quo.The story itself follows a classic coming of age archetype with a science-fiction, fantasy spin. 

Both novels are fast reads, making for the perfect weekend reading plan while the baby naps. I’m an extremely impatient reader, preferring to wait until an entire series is released before starting because I know I’ll blast through the current releases over just a few weeks. With just two books released in the series so far I’m hooked and can’t wait to see what other journeys S.G. Blaise takes Lilla on in her next installment.
