The Last Princess moves along very fast and contains a lot of action, but I felt a strong disconnect between Eliza and what was happening to her. It seemed like she jumped from situation to situation without much thought. This did keep the plot moving at a swift pace, but I couldn't fully believe any of Eliza decisions, since we only get to know her on a surface level. I also was never sure of how much time was passing. It could have been a few days or a few months. Clearer transitions between scenes were certainly needed.
There isn't a lot I want to say about The Last Princess. It was good and a very quick read. I read it in one sitting, since the plot was always moving and I wanted to know what came next. I enjoyed the world, since I have a thing for dystopian settings caused by natural disasters or diseases. A lot of the story progression was brought upon by luck and coincidence, which I think also played a part in the disconnect that I felt. Overall though, I found this novel quite enjoyable. The epilogue did contain a cliffhanger despite the nice final chapter, so I guess I'll need to pick up the sequel!
