"The Last Dragon Slayer" is one of those fantasy novels that starts off with a bang and keeps you eagerly reading until the very end, only to leave you bouncing in your seat waiting for the next novel in the series. The story is imaginative, engaging, lush, vivid, captivating and action-packed. It's a novel that mixes together all the elements of a great fantasy series, from authentic characters that draw you into the epic quest to fantastical storytelling that adds layer after layer to the author's world-building. What I liked about this novel is that it felt a little whimsical, a little edgy, a bit funny and a whole lot of exciting. The writing is smooth, evocative, wonderfully compelling and weaves a story filled with dragons, elves, sell-swords, a misfit group with a great task they're aren't sure they'll complete and a promising conclusion that had me eager to purchase the next book in the series.
