Last Dragon was an interesting debut fantasy book, because it was written in a different way than other fantasy books. This book consisted of letters (memories), which were written by the main character.
This book was like a jigsaw puzzle, because the story opened gradually through the letters. Some people may not like this kind of writing style, but I liked it. At first it felt a bit weird to read short letters, but I got used to it.
I enjoyed reading Last Dragon, because J. M. Dermott's prose was beautiful and he handled all the pieces of the story amazingly well. It was refreshing to read a fantasy book, which avoided all the usual clichés and plot twists.
