16-year-old Aurora Darlington is an orphan. Mistreated by her adopted family and bullied at school, she dreams of running away and being free. But when she is kidnapped and dragged through a portal into a magical world, suddenly her old life doesn’t seem so bad.

Avalonia is a dangerous land ruled by powerful mages and a cruel, selfish queen who will do anything to control all seven kingdoms—including killing anyone who stands in her way.

Thrust headlong into this new, magical world, Aurora’s arrival sets plans in motion that threaten to destroy all she holds dear.

With the help of a young fae, a magical pegasus, and a handsome mage, Aurora journeys across Avalonia to learn the truth about her past and unleash the power within herself. Kingdoms collide as a complicated web of political intrigue and ancient magic lead Aurora to unravel a shocking secret that will change her life forever.

She really can’t wait to get out of that house and start to live her live away from there. Then everything changes when she and her family travel together and she’s kidnapped and taken to a magical world🙊🦄🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️🧙‍♀️👸🤴🏻

The Last of the Firedrakes by Farah Oomerbhoy was amazing from beginning to end😍
I have been wanting to read this book for a while and I’m so glad I finally had a chance to read it❤ One of the main reasons I wanted to read this book was because it’s a YA, Fantasy book! I have been reading more Contemporary books lately and I have been wanting to read more Fantasy books📚And so when I read the synopsis of The Last of the Firedrakes I new it was a must read!😎😍❤

Aurora was an amazing character. She was someone who was scared at the beginning of the story, mostly because she didn’t have a clue of where she was. Avalonia is a dangerous place but as soon as Aurora arrives she discovers a lot of things, like what happened to her real parents and who she really is! She was a very strong character and was determined to learn and to not give up when things got complicated. One of my favorite characters was Kalen, he was the sweetest😆❤ and he was always there to help Aurora and Rafe 😍❤

While Aurora and Rafe’s relationship was complicated, mostly because of Raffe’s secrets 😉 I enjoyed reading about them. They are just perfect for each other and I just LOVED how at the end Aurora discovers who he really is… ALL THE SWOONS😍❤🙌

As soon as I started to read this book I knew I was going to to love it. It’s a story full of magical creatures, incredible adventures, amazing characters and romance😍 Once I started to read it I couldn’t put it down. The world-building of the story was amazing – as well as the food descriptions 😉😍 – Farah’s writing style made me feel like I was part of the story and that’s just one of the things I loved the most about this book.

This book will take you to a world where powerful mages and faes rule. There’s action, lots of secrets and an ending that will make you want to read the second book soon! I hope you guys like this book when you read it ❤
