Thanks to all my friends who wouldn’t stop talking about it because I’m not certain I would have read it otherwise. The Last Sun is an amazing, infinitely quotable, incredibly engaging, depth-filled urban fantasy that I am incredibly thankful for having read. Victims are quarantined and cast out, their defeat viewed as a genetic defect.” Review: “The thing you must never forget about Atlantean culture is that we don’t coddle our victims. In looking for Addam, can Rune find the truth behind his family’s death and the torments of his past? Quote: But as they investigate, they uncover more than a missing man: a legendary creature connected to the secret of the massacre of Rune’s Court. With his companion and bodyguard, Brand, he questions Addam’s relatives and business contacts through the highest ranks of the nobles of New Atlantis. Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment’s missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home. 'A fast, fun urban fantasy in a wonderfully original world, full of slam-bang magic and interesting characters.Alert: You will be consumed with an unceasing need to read the next book immediately upon finishing The Last Sun.

'Sharp dialogue, plus characters you want to follow around just to see what happens next. When thrown in beside fascinating magical systems, breathtaking prose, and a relentless plotthis is the tale of Atlantean magic we didn’t know we wanted.' - Scott Reintgen The central characters, Rune and Brand, combine the loyalty of Frodo and Samwise with the sacrilege of a pairing like Tyrion and Bronn. We’re invited into an alternative, historical world of staggering breadth and realization. Edwards takes all the familiar pawns of urban fantasy and makes royalty of them in his debut. 'Jaw-dropping worldbuilding, fluent prose, and an equal blend of noir and snark make for that most delicious of fantasy adventures, an out-of-this-world tale that feels pressingly real. 'This is a highly enjoyable read: take the witty noir of Dashiell Hammett’s The Thin Man, kick it to an alternate present day, add equal portions of action and magic, garnish with a sprig of romance, and you have The Last Sun.
