Review: A Great Start to the Deathsworn Arc
Rating: 5 out of 5

This was the start of what I can only imagine will be an epic series of magic, magical creatures, mystical plots and memorable characters. The Last Dragon Slayer is the kind of novel that keeps building and building, mixing together a well-researched and well-written plot with a spark of "magic" that just lingers ling after you've finished reading it. The story has a wonderful tone of fantasy and adventure that reminds me of The Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia where you feel like you're reading a classic in the making  with each page that is turned.What I loved about this was that it was vividly descriptive and amazingly crafted, pulling the reader along as they get wrapped up in this epic quest to find and defeat the rumored noble dragon, along the way revealing hidden plots and far reaching connections that prove to be much more than anyone imagined. The plot is fast-paced with just the right amount of time lingering on the more human elements of the story while creating epic action and adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Overall, the novel was a great introduction to the Deathsworn Arc and Martyn Stanley, and I am eager to move on to the next book in the series.
