Summary

The Faoii have protected Clearwall for generations. With militaristic order and stalwart discipline, these women have reigned in prosperity. But when her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, only young Kaiya-faoii is left alive.

Forced to cope without the long-standing traditions of her Order, Kaiya travels the country on a mission to avenge her sisters and preserve what is left of her heritage. The search brings her not only to dark discoveries and ancient family secrets, but to something she never wanted or dreamed of: a brother she never knew she had.

Thrust into a war at the heart of a broken empire, the siblings must evaluate the true meanings of enemy, betrayal, and freedom - and the gray areas surrounding each. Kaiya slowly learns the true state of the world outside her monastery's walls, the dangers of the poisonous army that is slowly covering the land, and of her own innate abilities gifted by the Goddess.

An exciting Fantasy epic

The Last Faoii is a compelling tale of a lone survivor in her quest to raise up an army to oppose a seemingly unkillable warlord.
It is vividly told, with a sense of depth, realism and sincerity. The story is full of surprising turns as the heroine discovers dark secrets about herself and her world.
Tahani Nelson's world has a detailed and vibrant culture that has clearly been crafted with love. I would love to see an RPG set in this world.

My only criticism (and given that this is a 5* review, it is a small criticism) is that the geography is less developed than the culture. Each setting seems to exist in isolation from a wider world. New locations seem to only come into the story as and when the action moves there. In this way, it is more like a video game and a bit too episodic.
The new locations are well realised, but it would have felt more real if mention was made of places before they become significant, or even ones that don't come into this story. Also of a wider history. (as in Tolkien or George RR Martin)

In all, this is an excellent story and I look forward to seeing the world grow in Tahani's other books.
