The Last Feather
by Shameez Patel Papathanasiou
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
THOUGHTS:
I was hooked reading this book.
Things have been happening and had happened that constantly teased the reader to keep on reading. But never in a way that would overwhelm or frustrate you but rather to keep you intrigued.
The revelations. The secrets. The world building and even the characters (regardless of how minor) made an impression. And our main characters, Cassia and Luke, were just adorable. Their friendship is such a goal and you can’t help but root for them for something more.
Both characters have responsibilities thrust upon them and they selflessly took it. And their support system, the family and friends-turned-family that they met along the journey made their burden both rewarding yet difficult. And it bleeds throughout the page and it was amazing.
I commend the writer for writing such strong and lovable characters that you can’t help but root and cheer for.
This is the first book of the trilogy and I am really looking forward and curious for the next one.

AUTHOR BIO
Shameez Patel Papathanasiou was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. She lives there with her husband, child and two cats named Turbo and Charger.
During the day she juggles her time between taking care of her daughter and working as a civil engineer where she designs roads and analyses traffic—but at night she writes! And she writes fantasy AND romance.
Why both? Well, why not?
She considers herself a professional binge-watcher and fangirl. Don’t be surprised should you bump into her dressed as a Hobbit or Lady Loki and should you need anything from her, offer her a choc-chip cookie and her heart is yours forever.
Shameez fell in love with fiction, especially fantasy and romance fiction at a young age. Her parents fondly recall receiving her first handwritten story before the age of ten, titled The Treasures of Zombie Island, which surprisingly featured no zombies at all. She has been writing ever since.
Her fantasy novel, The Last Feather was published in July 2022 by Flame Tree Press—it, at the very least, features a feather
