In the Last Danann by Victoria Saccenti, we meet an aeons old Tuatha Dé Warrior, Kailen. We see short memories starting in Thebes, Southern Egypt, 1000BC, when he visits Khnurn, a wizard charged with keeping the universe's balance.  Kailen cannot join his people as they leave the earthly plane but has been given orders that will occupy him for millennia. Khnurn assures him that he will find someone to fill his heart.  In one of the many battles Kailen faces with his Masters, the Westerbergs, his beloved Nadrine is killed Kailen believes his heart will never again belong to someone.  When a shocking kidnapping occurs, Kailen must team up with Khnurn's apprentice Thalaith.  Neither of them ever thought they would ignite such intense feelings of love and protection for each other; however, her unknown origins still hang over them as the couple join the other Titanian in a fight against two very evil death sorcerers.

The Last Danann by Victoria Saccenti is an exquisitely written piece of literature with exceptional descriptions and lavishly chosen words to convey the sense of awe-inspired by the characters in the novel.  The world of the supernaturals superimposed and woven through the ordinary world is exquisitely done and leaves the reader dumb-struck at the beauty of the world seen through supernatural eyes. The diminished use of eroticism substantiates the novel's plot and balances the plot as it unfolds.  A well-crafted world supports the storyline, and enough background of previous events are given that the novel can be read either as a stand-alone or as part of the Titanian Chronicles.




I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

" In my opinion, the review is perfect." Victoria Sacentti

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilli...
