Story
As Rune Saint John grapples with the challenges of assuming the Sun Throne, a powerful barrier appears around New Atlantis’ famed rejuvenation center. But who could have created such formidable magic...what do they want from the immortality clinic...and what remains of the dozens trapped inside? Now, the rulers of New Atlantis must confront an enemy both new and ancient as the flow of time itself is drawn into the conflict. And as Rune finds himself drawn back to the fall of his father’s court and his own torture, the secrets that he has guarded will be dragged into the light.

Story
The Tarot Sequence imagines a modern-day Atlantis off the coast of Massachusetts, governed by powerful Courts based on the traditional Tarot deck. Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Throne, is backed into a fight of high court magic and political appetites in a desperate bid to protect his ward, Max, from a forced marital alliance with the Hanged Man. Rune's resistance will take him to the island's dankest corners, including a red light district made of moored ghost ships and the floor of the ruling Convocation, where a gathering of Arcana will change Rune's life forever.

His past was buried in the poison fields, but after a fateful encounter with a prince, Soren realizes he can’t keep the magic hidden inside forever. Vanya Sa’Liandel was the spare who survived the Houses’ murderous games to become the crown prince of Solaria. He has a duty to his country, but he’ll owe his life to the wardens.

You can’t bargain with death if you’ve already sold your soul. Special agent Patrick Collins has been reassigned by the supernatural operations agency to New York City. Navigating his new relationship with Jonothon de Vere, the werewolf he’s now soulbound to, is nothing compared to dealing with territorial disputes between the vampires and werecreatures who call the five boroughs home. But the delicate treaties that have kept the preternatural world in check are fraying at the edges, and the fallout is spilling into the mundane world.

Needing a cover for his presence in the Windy City, Patrick is ordered to investigate a politician running for mayor. In the lead up to Election Day, not everything is what it seems in a city where playing to win means appeasing the gods first and the electorate second. But Chicago brings its own set of problems outside the case: a standoffish local god pack, a missing immortal, and Patrick’s twin sister.

In this debut novel and series starter, the last member of a murdered House searches for a missing nobleman, and uncovers clues about his own tortured past.
Rune Saint John, the last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment's missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home.
With his companion and bodyguard, Brand, he questions Addam's relatives and business contacts through the highest ranks of the nobles of New Atlantis. But as they investigate, they uncover more than a missing man: a legendary creature connected to the secret of the massacre of Rune's Court. In looking for Addam, can Rune find the truth behind his family's death and the torments of his past?

Amazing!!
Josh Hurley did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and I hope he does the future books in this series as well. The story grabbed me from the very start and kept hold of me the whole way through. The pacing was perfect with moments of sarcasm and wit helping to balance out all the feels. I can't wait for the rest of this series to come out!

Just Okay
The story certainly has a different premise and makes a good stab at a crime plot. The back story is worth expanding. One of its downfalls is the non-stop swearing, which is boring enough to read and annoying to listen to. That, along with the long drawn out fight scenes whose only purpose seems to enhance the word count, detracted from the book The plot was interesting enough to stay with the story, but I won't bother with the sequel. The performer might have been better had he more to work with.

Holy shit that was so good!!!
I’m going to level. I found this book because I was looking for happy gay stories. Gay media is full of tragic horrible stories, and I hate it. Then I found this. The sample made it sound weird. The reviews weren’t detailed so I wasn’t sure about it. I took a chance. This story if freaking awesome! Yes there is a side gay romance in the book. The main story though is of heroism defeating the bad guy who is doing ding messed up shit with his magic. This world is super awesome and I loved the mystery of who the bad guy was and the question of what really all going on behind the scenes. I can’t wait for the next one!!!

Very good, but not excellent
I found this book while searching for an LGBT fantasy where the plot was not driven by the character’s queer identity. To this end, the book was exactly what I hoped it would be. As a big fan of other fantasy gurus (e.g. Sanderson, Rothfuss, etc.), I found the world building to be ultimately satisfying and intriguing, while perhaps not quite at the caliber of the legends. I also thought that the reader was phenomenal and brought each character to life.
However, I found The Last Sun missing the mark in two major respects: the balance of characters, and the dialogue.
First, the character cast was nearly exclusively male. On some level, this may be expected when the main character is gay (i.e. no females as potential love interests), but I think it felt unnecessary. There were characters whom I enjoyed, but could have easily been instead a female voice to the story. (I’m a gay male btw if that offers context to my perspective.) This obviously didn’t ruin the book for me, but it took me out of the story at times. I want strong gay characters, but the sausage fest was a little overwhelming.
Second, the dialogue had strong moments, but was a lot of times very cringe. I didn’t love the banter between Rune and Brand mostly because I didn’t find it witty, and it just gave second hand embarrassment. I found much of the dialogue trite, and I think the beauty of the writing comes through much better during the moments of observation.
I would recommend this book. If nothing else, it is a great example of things to do right, and a better example of things to avoid.

A fun ride with some flaws and trigger warnings
So, the good first. This book is a real thrill ride, with perilous situations, near-death experiences supernatural threats, and high-octane magical combat going on constantly. The idea of New Atlantis is an interesting one, and allows for some lore that's a little different than a lot of other UF out there. The hero, Rune, is a pretty good protagonist, being fairly likeable and not making idiotic decisions. The supporting cast, including his bodyguard Brand, make for interesting characters as well. The plot is engaging and has a few neat twists.
Now the bad.
For one thing, there's some serious trigger warnings about rape that need to be attached to this book. Rune has a few flashes back to a night he was gang-raped by several men, and there's some rather brutal imagery to go along with it. One remark in particular near the end of the novel turned my stomach.
The other problem I had with it is... Okay. I get that this is an M/M book, and I don't have a problem with that. There's a fair amount of good-looking dudes flirting with each other and hitting on each other and admiring their respective good looks, and there's a minor amount of M/M sexual content. All of that is fine. What I had a problem with is *there are almost no female characters.* I wouldn't expect one to be a love interest in an M/M book, but there should at least be one or two who have a little bit of relevance as, you know, CHARACTERS. There's a grand total of three of them who have any impact on the plot at all; of those three, one dies ten minutes in, one exists solely to give Rune a mission, and one is the girlfriend of a minor character. If this were a movie, they'd get maybe five minutes on screen combined. It's even more jarring considering that early on, Rune explains that bisexual polygamy is the norm for relationships among the Atlanteans, yet all we see are men jealously struggling to be Rune's monogamous boyfriend. None of this would be a problem in a gay literotica, but in a book that has an actual plot and isn't just smut, it's really weird and glaring.
Anyway. I didn't hate it, and I found the constant wizardry battles pretty entertaining. It's worth a read, but just know what you're getting into ahead of time.

Surprisingly different and chalk full of sass!
4.5 stars!
Book Content Warning: talk of past sexual assault.
This was surprisingly different and chalk full of sass! I had a lot of tropes lined up in my head for a story like this, and in steered clear of a lot of them.
The world and plot held my interest the whole time, and there wasn't any unneeded info dumping. I loved the characters and their relationships. They were all sassy, but in different ways.
I was sure this would be an mm romance between the mc and his bodyguard, but it wasn't and their friendship gave me warm and fuzzy feelings. They'll sass each other one minutes and hug the next...while sassing each other, I loved it.
Also, there was a good found family feel to it, with the all the characters which is one of my biggest weaknesses.
I eagerly await the next book.

I don’t know what to do??
This audiobook was so good. The world that was created was spectacular. I’m dying to know what happens next. I usually wait until the next book would be made into an audiobook to enjoy the story but idk I’m seriously considering seeing if the next book is out.
The narration was fabulous. Hurley made the characters come alive.
I will say, it was hard to hear about the sexual assault. That is my only warning to any one thinking of listening to this audiobook.

I don’t know what I was expecting when I bought this book, but definitely not that. Easily, easily one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. World-building was flawless. Characters were rich and complex and fascinating. The plot was incredibly engaging and the larger arch of the series integrated seamlessly. Josh Hurley’s reading brought the characters to life perfectly. 10/10, get this book.

This was such an amazing surprise!
I encourage everyone to take a chance and read this book! I didnt know what to think at first, since it was a new author, but Im so glad I got to experence this story.
The magic, characters, world, and plot were all great! I was a little confused by some of the magic and world details at first, however that didnt last long and the characters more than carried me through it.
The plot was great, and left me craving the next book. It seems like this is only the beging and I cant wait for more!!

Unfinished
I'm torn on this. The writing and plot I liked but there are so many holes in this story. Perhaps there's a prequel or something that explains how this world came to be that I haven't read that would help with backstory.
My concern doesn't end there though. There's a major conflict throughout the story that doesn't feel resolved and not in the "to be continued" sense. I don't really know why the events occurred and it doesn't feel like the hero has a clue to follow up on.

Upfront this is a adventure-mystery in an alternate modern magical Earth. At its heart it is an excellent representation of a gay hero in fantasy fiction driven by realistic needs and the struggle to survive a dangerous, fantastic land.
The world is rich, the characters are developed, the dialog feels authentic, and the plot and intrigue stand well on their own without giving too much away. Readers familiar with role-playing games can enjoy how magic is presented in the story. Overall the author does an excellent job setting the stage for an immersive series with good potential for growth.
If you enjoy the Dresden Files but want more gay characters you should definitely check this one out!

Major trigger warnings!!This book is more than I expected. I freaking loved this book. This is a book is a must listen to. Josh Hurley is a new narrator to me and I hope he does more in the MM field. He is amazing!! Low heat level and not angsty.
