The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli

The Last Namsara (Iskari, #1)

by Kristen Ciccarelli

A gripping YA crossover series from a spectacular new voice in the genre

Destroyer. Death bringer. Dragon-slayer. I am more weapon than girl.

Asha is a dragon-slayer. Reviled by the very people she's sworn to protect, she kills to atone for the terrible deed she committed as a child.

One that almost destroyed her city, and left her with a terrible scar.

She wears her scar with pride, but to others, her skin tells a story of devastation, of fiery deaths, of Asha's irredeemable wickedness.

Only the death of Kozu, the First Dragon, will bring Asha true redemption and unite her father's fractured kingdom. But no one battles Kozu and lives, so to defeat him she will have to do some very wicked things . . .

In this story we have a character who been forced to believe that she is pretty much the person who has destroyed and cursed the world.   She been told that the old stories about dragons are what killed her mother and she was the one who brought it about by whispering it to lure dragons to her.  She uses the old dragons stories to kill dragons.  Now i am a lover so why would i want to read a story about a character who hunts them and kills them.  Good question. 

That is how this story starts out but it turns out it so much more then that and you end up with love, heart ache, attachment to dragons and most of wonderful dragon stories. I love the little tidbits in between chapters that gave us those forbidden dragon stories.  

I love torwin to pieces and felt so much anguish for him, shadow the dragon is by far the best dragon portrayed in the story and warning you probably gonna shed some tears for that one at some point in the story.  I really felt for Asha through out the whole story.  This was a wonderful debut novel and excited to read The Caged Queen later in 2018.
