The Last Sun

This was absolutely delightful to read! Like every fantasy book, the beginning of the book with all of the world building, magic system, etc., can be a little difficult, but I love the world Edwards built! It's such a cool concept, and I love the way it was explained. The real highlight of this story has to be the characters. Rune & Brandon (Brand) are the cutest, and I love their banter. Everyone should have a friend like Brand in their lives. Their friendship is so sweet and the love & understanding they have for one another is very clear. I loved getting to experience it. Rune has been through a lot as has Brand. Rune's trauma and experiences are mentioned throughout the book and it can be difficult to read. Addam & his brother, Quinn, are sweet, too! Addam is honestly a really great love interest that I didn't see coming, but I'm glad he's there. I loved seeing all three/four of them interact and they had me laughing out loud more than a few times. Max was a cutie too!

The plot and mystery was very good! When I tell you I had no idea who we were fighting and who was behind the kidnapping, I ain't lying. It was just surprise after surprise for me. Even with Rune and Brand being top tier investigators. It was full of action and so many interesting places. Overall all the characters were extremely well-written, and the world was just so much fun. I can't wait to see more of everyone in the next book! Highly recommend!
