About The Last Paladin (Book 1):
I was once a mighty Paladin of Darkness, mother of all the Elements. The one and only of my kind.
Some called me the chosen one, a savior destined to rescue the world; others insisted I would be its downfall.
I never got the chance to discover who was right. Society conspired with the traitors to trap me in the deadly Element of Time.
But a year later, I managed to break free... wait, how has it been 700 years?

My Thoughts:
The theme holds a lot of similarities to some books that I have been reading lately. Like, the enemy is from a foreign realm that comes through via portals. The same theme with This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews and The Dark Healer series by Alex Toxic and Nadya Lee. So the book is not exactly original.
First chunk of a bigger book with a cliffhanger ending.
This is my first Roman Savarovsky read and I like the way he tells a story. I just do not like the fact that the story is being sold in chunks. I am also not fond of the waiting for the next chunk.
But I love The Cat! Cute sidekick!
I like Jonathan Sleep's voice, it is not irritating to the ears. However, I do not like the fact that he does not pause or show any indication that the scene has changed. He just reads on and on and on. You just notice it when the lines do not make sense anymore. When I check the ebook, the text is separated by three asterisks showing that the scene has changed. So you can't just listen with half an ear because you'll get confused.

About Roman Savarovsky:
Roman Savarovsky was born in 1992 in a small Siberian town. His childhood love for reading short detective stories eventually shifted to a fascination with fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure during his teenage years. While in university, reading took a backseat to other hobbies and studies, until the LitRPG genre captured his attention in 2014. Realizing, “I could write something like this,” he completed his first full draft and submitted it to a writing contest. Although the draft didn’t progress further, Roman turned his focus to a career in sales.
His search for purpose continued over six years, moving from one job to another, yet the desire to write never faded.
The turning point came in 2021 when Roman stumbled upon another major LitRPG contest. Revisiting and fully rewriting his draft, he transformed it into a successful trilogy, gathering his first fans and finding his true calling. Since then, Roman has never set down his “pen,” crafting and publishing new captivating stories.
