The Last Sacrifice by R. M. Putnam
Review by Jessa Larsen
Rosilda has been banished to the swamps and cut off from all civility for a past crime. She has been left there to live the remainder of her life along with her best friend Saba and her daughter Donait. She had previously been accustomed to the life and privileges of high court and thus spends her time wishing to return to such a life as well as wondering how her daughter will ever learn to be a proper lady. Donait has no such concerns and spends her time in the muddy swamp, catching frogs and treating them like baby dolls. Rosilda and Saba look on warily and begin to plot their revenge on the one who banished them to such a dreadful place.
Donait, much to her dismay as she rather likes her carefree life with her frogs, is given a very important role in Rosilda’s plans. She must be taught the ways of a proper lady and trained the ways of a murderer. Donait is given the most important role and when she succeeds, the three women can not only return to court, but claim the throne for themselves and rule as they please. The plan goes fairly smoothly until disaster befalls the trio. Donait finds herself in a whirlwind of trouble and things continue to spiral out of control. She must use her wits to survive and not allow her naivete and uncontrolled emotions get the best of her. Donait MUST succeed and carry out the plans if any of them are to survive the ordeal.
The Last Sacrifice is the second book in the Destiny’s Warriors series which follows the lives of ancient Irish people and includes sci-fy, mythology, and fantasy which happen to be my favorite genres. There are mortals and immortals, faeries, elves, warriors, bogeymen, and many others.The various characters are very fascinating and have a great complexity and depth to their personalities. You never know what their next decision and/or choice of action will be. I fell in love with each and every character in the book and can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to them next.
If you read The Last Sacrifice, get comfy and cancel all plans you might have as you won’t be able to put this book down. There are so many twists and turns and its is wonderfully written. I am now a big fan of R. M. Putnam and I’ll definitely be picking up her next copy as soon as it’s available. The Destiny’s Warriors series is a must read that everyone will love.
