The Last Lion of Karkov by Dale Griffin




This could be described as a romance novel.  I’m not sure that is a correct description but it is the first that comes to mind.  It took nearly 200 pages for me to finally fall in love with the book.  So I guess that love, means it was a romance novel.  There is action and mayhem but the relationships between the characters are the supporting pillars of the book.

Jillian and Natalie are the daughters of a tyrant, the Lion of Karkov.  The Lion raises the girls to be warriors, heartless warriors.  He succeeds in teaching them to be warriors but fails to make them heartless.  The love they have for each other opens them to emotions that the Lion despises.

The story centers around the desire for the Lion to have a male heir and his plans to see his daughters provide him with one. 

Old scars from the Lion’s previous wars ends up plaguing the daughters but also to succor them.  Love is found in the strangest of places and so once again, this is a love story.

Early on I would have given a hearty laugh if asked if I enjoyed this book, surprising to myself, I ended up “loving” the book and I strongly recommend it.
