That black hole is something else.
By Arthur Inverse

The Last Philosopher is a ride.
The story starts with a black hole named, wait for it. Di- I mean Richard. And as a black hole should be, he think's hes the absolute center of the universe, able to bring everything to him and underfoot.

Then we are brought to our chrotchity old headmaster of our school.
The story so far has been good with worldbuilding, pictures and maps in the story adding just the right amount of touch and immersion to help visualize wheer you are and what is going on within the chapters.

I found little to no errors in word choice, flow, and spelling. Solid all around.

The Last Philosopher, an epic fantasy has mastered all of the essentials of the genre. The worldbuilding is incredible. And might I say I was very excited to see maps included in the chapters. Our world is important as it shapes not only the plot but the characters as well. I get the sense that in this first installment we are getting the tip of the massive iceberg behind the world of Huom.

Something that you did incredibly well with was your characterization. Your characterization in this story was absolutely incredible. You showed us stellar characterization through actions and the inner thoughts of the characters themselves.

Overall, this was a refreshing unique take on fantasy! A very engaging read. The pacing is a little slow but the pay-off and reward is so worth it in the end. And the plot has so much potential going forward. There is so much clever wit in this story as well which | thoroughly enjoyed!

Nothing like some good old cynicism and humor!

ACTUAL REVIEW:

Okay, definitely read this. It's amazingly thought out and though it might not make a lot of sense at first, I promise that this is one of those stories that just wraps you up in it! Has amazing adventure/action scenes and is for someone who has good comprehension skills. It's super funny (from the very first line to the very last) and I was laughing nearly the entire time while reading this! Read it!!!
