Five Reasons to Read The Last One:

The three aspects I loved the most were the witty dialogue and sparring, the relationship between Kai and Jadon, and the mark Kai leaves on different individuals in the community.  These are the elements that kept the pages turning for me.  The pacing was mostly fast, which I also loved, as plenty of action keeps the plot moving.  But that just made those moments when Kai made a difference in someone’s life stand out even more.  Those scenes were heartwarming and gave her character the layers and complexity that made it easy to root for her as she fought battle after battle until the final truth came out.

The world-building is complex, but since you see through the eyes of someone with amnesia, the information comes in bits and bursts.  Though this is in keeping with the amnesia storyline, it was hard for me to follow and impeded any immersion into this world.  I would have rather had the information spread more consistently throughout the story from a mixture of remembering and revelations from others.
