Her story and her words have so much beauty, and love, and passion, and adventure - Tomi Adeyemi on The Last Namsara An accomplished fantasy novel . . . raised above the commonplace by one marvellous central premise - the idea that dragons are the custodians of the old tale, and that their fire is actually generated by the telling of stories - Joanne Harris on The Last Namsara It's always refreshing to see a non-traditional fantasy setting.
