The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli
3.0
Actual rating is a 3.5
I'm still a bit conflicted with this book. I don't know what it is with books that I like in the beginning and then not so much the further I get that was the case with this book as well. I thought the world and the way it was built up were so unlike anything I've read before. I loved how the stories within this story helped you to understand the world and its history. I just loved how these old stories were a part of this world, with the dragons, with the storytellers and everything.
When I was about halfway through that love kinda changed. A lot of the plot turned form unique to things I've read before just a little different. I wasn't surprised anymore, but found myself rolling my eyes (which isn't a good thing). The constant climaxes really threw me off. I felt like there were like 4 points where the story could've stopped and a sequel would've made sense. But now this book wanted to wrap up the entire main plot line. I think I would've enjoyed it more if the story was a little slower paced and therefore more developed.
I did enjoy reading it and the way the story was told really stood out to me. But the rest of the book just wasn't what I hoped it would've been.
