First off, I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea. It was a really great book! But there were grammatical and spelling errors at least twice every other chapter. It kind of throws out a little medieval, fantasy (and a bit mythological) vibe. I saw some other people say that she (Aurora) wouldn't get into as much trouble as she would if she would listen. This being true, but I criticize. If she hadn't gotten into all of that trouble, the story wouldn't be as tense as it was. (though it was only truly tense towards the end.) I love the book, but I don't know how all the errors got through the editor's eyes. It was a very good book, and I couldn't stop reading. But you could still fix a few things. (Also I hope Aurora goes back to the real world and beats the mess out Cornelia, her aunt, and her uncle...)

I received this book from LovingDemBooks Booktube Tours in exchange for an honest review.

The Last of the Firedrakes was a fun, fantasy read with many quirky fantasy aspects people who love this genre would enjoy. But, I did have a lot problems with individual aspects of this novel, even though I thought it was okay all together.

First, the main character. I didn't really like the main character that much. Aurora played the role of a naive, selfish teenage girl who didn't think at all before acting. I was constantly getting frustrated with her because not only did she get herself in situations she wouldn't be in if she had listened to others, but she also constantly dragged other people with her. She would never fullt accept the blame of her actions, instead forcing others to go along with her in these idiotic quests. Also, I felt like she was constantly havign to be saved by someone/something else. YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAVED IF YOU HAD JUST LISTENED GAH. But, I did love her work ethic and though she was a very overpowered MC, I appreciated the fact that she did have to somewhat learn.

There were also a bunch of cliches mixed throughout the novel. We had the abused orphan, insta-love, lost royalty, and almost every steretypical story device ever. This aspect caused the book to be very unsurprising when it came to "big plot twists." Nothing was truly "foreshadowed," but more "thrown at you with a brick."

The other characters and the world were very fun and likeable. I think a big reason why I read parts of this book so fast were because I was just so interested in learning about the world. Though it wasn't the most original of kingdoms, there were still super cool magic systems and unique aspects. The other characters did follow a few stereotypes, but it wasn't nearly as bad at the MC. I enjoyed reading about all of the others' different personalities and their specialties.

The romance was the strongest dose of insta-love I've experienced in a long time and that's saying something since I've been reading a lot of contemporaries recently. I was fairly aggrivated with it because it was like all over insta-loves, I felt that these characters didn't truly know each other before they were falling for the other. And the problem was, this romance played a huge part in the novel. Aurora's decisions and thoughts were constantly based on this insta-love, which made it even more prevalent and irritating.

The writing felt fairly juvenile which I feel weird talking about, but it was a big part of reading for me. I felt that some of the words characters would say would feel unnatural (imagine Star Wars) and awkward. I am aware that the author was attempting a medieval/olden-times vibe, but it just still felt very weird to me. It wasn't only the dialogue, but also the fact that there were tons of cliches in the writing that I just... ARGHH

"He's the most popular boy in school!"

I rest my case.

I wanted to address this more specifically, but the many cliches that this book had irked me. First, we had the fact that they were always eavesdropping? Is there no other way to get information? Really? Then, we have the fact that Aurora would literally butt her head into everyone else's business and get herself into a bunch of unnecessary trouble. Honestly, I just wanted to yell, "STAY IN YOUR LANE!!" throughout the entire novel. Also, even when in the midst of a super serious and important situation, the MC would STILL be thinking about the person she "loves" which made me want to legitimately shake her shoulders and yell at her to listen.

Okay but honestly, I feel like I would've enjoyed this book a lot more if tHE MAIN CHARACTER DIDN'T IRK ME SO

Where's the second book???? I need it or else I will pee my pants in anticipation (PS BUY "THIS TOWN" BY ONE DIRECTON'S NIALL HORAN ON ITUNES NOW)

I love this book so much.I could never get tired of this series. Very well written. Please make more.

Well written, storyline held my interest, character development was skilled. Finished the book wishing there was more.

Omg I love this book so much the sequel needs to come out soon cause this book is fantastic

Ok plot, but not very original. Some good characters. I strongly disliked the writing style. I finished the book, because I wanted to know where the story would stop with book one in the series. I do not feel the need to continue the series.

I loved it when's the next one coming out

It was surprisingly good, that's says a lot because I don't read these types of books. It was fun. Want to read more.

Can't wait for the second book! Although I do admit it that the ending if the first book was not a good place to end the first book.

I'm pretty sure I saw that you could read it free on wattpad.

I loved this story but hurry and make another because i want to know if prince rafe ends his wedding with letica amd stays with aurora and hopefully aurora gets her mother back and doesnt get killed first by morgana and her mother.

Pretty good book but there is no conclusion. Need to read next book & the next etc. which of course we will probably have to purchase. Not happy about that.

This is the best book I ever read but I seriously wanna know if rafe and aurora end up together and defeat morgana

The author weaves a world that is as exotic and enticing as it is dark and dangerous, throw in the right amount of teenage angst, add a few mystical creatures and the age honored battle of good vs evil, and you have a recipe for a promising epic fantasy series. The characters come alive. The story so richly detailed that you can almost smell the dank of the dungeons or taste the sweetness of the pastries . Well done Mrs Oomerbhoy, I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I have a feeling that this adventure will be one that we readers will not want to end.

One of my top favorite books by far!!! Don't stop writing you are a great author!!

Omg I completely enjoyed this book could you please write another one and I really wish rafe finds a way that they can be together 😩😩😍😍😍

Lovely book couldn't get enough of it finished it in two days ^~^

I loved this book! When I saw it on fb I decided to give it a shot, I bought it and instantly I was hooked, I couldn't put it down.
