Last Dragon is a first novel. Last Dragon is a literary novel. Though set in a medieval-ish society, it is not a fantasy in the classic sense. It is highly original in voice. Told in a series of flashbacks of a dying protagonist in letters to Esumi which talk of life and changes in a voice that mixes in despair to reality. It is beautifully written. And left me with a sense of loss by the end. Worth the read. - Pam Allan
