It was very long and a tad bit boring sometimes. But it was still interesting and i really liked Eli. Nicole was so and so.

I have fallen in love with this book. It has elements of Game of Thrones, The Witcher and multiple other quest books, but its just so easy to read!!

I loved the plot. It was fast paced, full of romance, angst, betrayal, revenge, demons and angels!!

The cover is beautiful and fits well with the contents inside. I loved the writing style and i was a bit shocked to see the author is male. I find that female characters are not written very well by males, but Nicole was brilliant in this book! The main character "The Last Guardian" is male and again its not often i enjoy this but it worked so well!

I would 100% read other books by this author.

This was a very interesting story about a man who could not die. I did enjoy a lot of things about this book, however, the story itself was a little too slow for me. I did really enjoy the authors writing style though and I can’t wait to see what else the author comes out with!

The Last Guardian by Liron D. Estrach is the first book I've read by this author and now have new author to look out for! I truly enjoyed this book. The only issue I found was the pace was a bit slow in the middle of the book, but it didn't take away fro the plot of the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy and great worldbuilding!

I had to quit this book after a couple of pages because I was disgusted by the sexism used in this book. That disappointed me, because the beginning of the book was really great and I was curious to find out more about the different clans Eli mentioned at the beginning when he visited the tavern. Other than that, I was very bored. The book was disrespectful and filled with clichés and toxic masculinity and I do not need that in my books anymore. Not in 2021.

Simply put, this book was fantastic! The book zeros in on Eli, who believes he's lived long enough, it seems, and seeks out death. The world grows and his mission changes, ultimately, to encompass multiple worlds and kingdoms. The world was intricately described and my brain filled with imagery of magical places and people. Beings of all shapes and sizes, living together, unbeknownst of each other, together but separate.
It always amazes me that there are still stories to tell - though writing and storytelling began long ago, people's imaginations ever evolve. This is no exception. Unique and memorable world building and fascinating characters.

The premises was intriguing, but I felt like the story was a bit too slow, and therefore, I had a really hard time staying engaged in the story. I also felt it was missing character development.

The writing style for this book just really didn't work for me. I also found the overall story to be a bit of a letdown, which is a shame because I found the blurb incredibly interesting. I guess this is a case of the book not living up to the expectations I had of it.

This was a book that I Really enjoyed this read and I would recommend to others easily, I will be looking out for other titles by this author.

This is not just a story, it's an epic. Eli has lived many thousands of years and is ready to die. He was gifted a life he no longer wants or needs. He is ready to join his loved ones, but first we will share in his memories of a life lived with purpose. As he relives his life, we meet him as a young man and join him as he gathers a family of characters to his side and his journey. This journey is so beautifully written, you will believe as only Eli's friends believe. Follow along as the Last Guardian searches for his release from this life.
Liron D Estrach has gifted us a look into a world populated with so many wonderful characters and communities that is very hard to describe the experience. He obviously found Stephen King's scroll.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc of this book! My opinions are my own.

I am a little sad. This book had so much potential. There were potentially interesting characters, nice storylines, and it could have been much more than it was. But it wasn't, for me.

This book is about Eli, a man who has lived for thousands of years and cannot die. He is the last guardian of the Tear, which needs to be protected. It gives its wielder immense power and immortality, so it cannot fall into the wrong hands.
Eli has tried everything to die and find his long lost love again in the afterlife, but hasn't succeeded. But now... A final opportunity arises, one last possibility of death.

The story starts off with Eli going to see one of his best friends in the Fable world, a world hidden next to our own, where magical creatures exist. I thought it was a very promising beginning, but unfortunately I felt that wasn't a setup for a great story. To me, the timing felt off. Some chapters were very descriptive and others were very short and too fast-paced. What I missed most, though, was the character development. I rather thought there wasn't any. Sure, we are told what the main characters feel, but I didn't actually féél it. I also felt that the characters made decisions to help the story along, but not fitting with their own character. Also - why did everyone get so angry so fast?

I did think there were some original ideas in this book and perhaps other people will enjoy this book more than I did!

The writing of The Last Guardian really turned me off. I couldn't into the writing style which prevented me from getting invested in the characters and plot.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
An interesting take on the fantasy genre
The writing is good and the story fascinating.
At times it became farfetched and therefore less enagaging.
On the whole, an OK book.

Wow! I didn't know what to expect with this book - I requested it entirely based on the cover... the thing moms always say not to do. I'm so impressed. Especially after looking at the author's goodreads page and seeing how young he is!

Star crossed lovers and suicidal protagonists aren't quite my jam usually, but this unique take on them really works. The fact that Eli wants to die to be with the love of his life but can't because of her... it's a fresh take and I'm here for it.

Great story, I enjoyed Eli and his journey. I took my time reading this book because sometimes it felt long but well worth it. This fantasy story is great, the character development worked for me and the story itself was refreshing. Overall a good read if you have time to sit down and really enjoy a well written book.

I absolutely adored this book. While for some the start may feel a bit slow, it definitely picks up and doesn't stop. And while there were two timelines in this book (past and present) I never felt confused or slowed down by either one. I also found that the central themes of this book fantastic; death, loss, grief, slavery, and otherness.

I fell in love with this world, its characters, and the beautiful writing of the author. I am truly looking forward to future novels from them!! I think that they could possibly be one of fantasy's next great authors.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Last Guardian was surprisingly good. In the beginning, things were starting off a bit slowly for me but thankfully it really picked up. Now in this story, you will meet Eli. He has a pretty unique wish to die because he wants to be in the afterlife with the love of his life. Which he can't do because she gave him the gift.

Along the way, I really enjoyed the bond and love between Nicole and Eli. It was just something special and it made my heart full of happiness. Now while I devoured this book, I think I would've changed the whole past and present thing. Sometimes it worked for me but other times I kind of ended up frustrated a little bit. It could've just been me and maybe I was a bit preoccupied or easily distracted while reading. Who knows.

In the end, I will definitely look for another book written by this author!

I found this book hard to read as it was slow to get into the story. The quest that Eli must take in order to die and meet his love in the afterlife. He meets friends as he goes on his quest. Just as he gets close to acquiring his goal another twist develops.

Thousands of years being alive won't stop Eli from finding his most precious desire. You really start to believe in soulmates once you pick The Last Guardian up.

The Last Guardian is the story of Eli who can't die. He has been alive for centuries and centuries, witnessed different things, and met different people. He has seen death, birth, wars, and tragedies. Now he wants to rest. Now he wants nothing more than to die. But not before he finds the most desired thing that he has been searching for, for centuries; his soulmate.

I gave The Last Guardian four stars, utterly falling in love by the story. I loved the integration of mythology and fantasy together and found it fascinating how this fantasy story incorporated mythology.

We are given two different timelines, one when Eli is just a teenager, maybe 18 or 19, and one in modern day time when he is thousands and thousands of years old. He's lived for a long time and when we are first introduced to him, he is finally ready to move on. I really enjoyed how we are given much detail on the past and how his actions, having been alive for thousands of years, are reflected in what he did in the past. It's also fascinating how even though he has lived thousands of years, he still cares for so much. In so many stories we find that a person who has lived thousands of years like Eli has, has lost all humanity, nearly given up, but with Eli, he still is looking for his life, which we find out is his strongest desire to find: his soulmate.

I loved that we were shown his actions in both past and present chapters and how we were introduced to his soulmate and how his actions in the past with his soulmate reflect to why he is ready to die and ready to move on in the present day. It was heartbreaking to find out the circumstances and when I least expect it, another thing happens.

The Last Guardian is a fantastic story about soulmates, love, and the combination of myth and fantasy with romance in it.

Thank you again to NetGalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review

I just couldn't get through this book. I am not exactly sure what it is, but the writing itself I found beautiful.
