To my liking

These fantastic books with magical and futuristic elements are definitely among my favorites, as I am very excited about their film adaptations. I hope that will be the case here as well. Like all the other books I have read by this author, this one is very well written in terms of narrative. It is very difficult to lose the thread, which is the opposite of what happens with other books in this genre, where the multiplicity of characters and tangled stories sometimes makes me feel that the aim is to confuse the reader. Well, that is not the case with this book. The whole time, I felt like I was on an adventurous ship heading into the unknown, almost experiencing firsthand the feelings of defiance and betrayal of the character Lilla.

Absolutely loved this fifth book!

This book is hands down my absolute new favorite book in the series! The authors characters are so well fleshed out that they truly begin to feel like real people! Whenever one of them dies I feel for them and miss them!

After reading Eldryan Elders: Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure of Lilla Uncovering Mysteries Key to Control of the Era War (The Last Lumenian Book 5), I have to say I really liked it! The story just keeps getting more exciting as Lilla moves forward in her journey through the Era War.

What really stood out to me in this book is how it mixes sci-fi and fantasy so well. The spaceships and advanced technology are really cool, but they’re also used in clever ways to move the story along. On the other hand, the fantasy elements like psychic powers, magic, and ancient prophecies bring a special touch to the story. It's fascinating to see how the characters combine futuristic tech with magical powers to face challenges and uncover hidden secrets.

What really grabbed my attention was how Lilla’s role becomes so important in the bigger picture of the Era War. As she uncovers more about the war’s past and the secrets she’s searching for, it’s clear that her choices will decide the future of the war. The more Lilla learns, the more crucial her role is, and that makes her journey feel even more intense and meaningful.

A Thrilling Fusion of Magic and Interstellar Intrigue...

In this thrilling fifth book of The Last Lumenian series, S.G. Blaise introduces readers to the mysterious jungle realm of Cathal, where protagonist Lilla faces her most arduous challenges yet. The story expertly combines aspects of science fiction and fantasy to create a complex tale of power, betrayal, and ancient mysteries. As Lilla struggles with her deteriorating magical talents and the strain on her merged spirit Moira, the novel moves at a breakneck pace, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

The author does an excellent job of world-building, bringing Cathal's alien setting alive while weaving a complex web of political intrigue and personal concerns. The discovery of a hidden society, as well as the advent of a new Ankhar, contribute to the ongoing Era War's complexity. Blaise creates a gripping story that tackles themes of trust, sacrifice, and the weight of finding long-buried secrets, all while striking a fine balance between action and character development. Highly recommended.

‘You are the Sybil and the true Teryn! We never give up!’ – Excellent fantasy novel!

Author S.G. Blaise made an impressive debut with the initial volume of THE LAST LUMENIAN, garnering awards from Pest Book Awards, New York Book Festival, San Francisco Book Festival, Reader’s Favorite Five Star, and Indie Reader. She now continues her series with ELDRYAN ELDERS, Book 5.

Having read the entire series, it is comfortable to say that Blaise has mastered the arena of fantasy fiction, and once the reader is drawn into this book, it is likely a search for the initial four episodes will follow. With atmosphere, the story opens with a view of the primary character Lilla – ‘Groaning, I blink my eyes open. The ground shakes under my numb body. I am lying on my back, staring up at the sky...Explosions mix with shouts of anger and agony, creating a chaotic cacophony.’ Skillfully, Blaise fuses both physical realities with fantasy references that initiate this all-consuming novel.

A return to my teenage years

When I was much younger, I loved reading comics, especially those related to space and distant universes. Well, this story took me straight back to that time, and I’m so grateful for it. The plot seemed excellent to me, on par with other fantastic stories about other worlds, and the characters—no question about it—are very well developed. I was deeply drawn to the idea of this hidden civilization; it feels like an homage to many communities here on Earth that, through their ancestral or natural connections, radiate a power capable of unraveling the most complex mysteries and conflicts. Lilla’s journey through all these characters, where you’re never quite sure whom to trust, makes it impossible to put the book down even for a moment. I loved the story, and it makes me want to return to those days when I used to read this kind of literature.

[Rodrigo J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting

This book blends science fiction and fantasy to create complex and well-developed worlds. The author skillfully combines an engaging narrative style with exciting action scenes, all while developing deep characters and exploring thought provoking themes such as sacrifice, destiny, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The way the story is told keeps you hooked from beginning to end, and it allows for a unique reading experience. I believe it is a truly captivating book.

One powerful message this book leaves us with is the importance of uncovering the truth and fearlessly facing the mysteries of the past. By doing so, we can make better decisions in the present and take control of our future. The journey to understanding can be challenging, but it ultimately empowers us to shape our own destinies.

[Guy Wheatley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fifth book in the Lumenian series. Author Blaise does a very good job of keeping the reader up to speed. Though I haven’t read the previous books, I never felt lost. The author makes sure the reader has all of the information needed to enjoy this book as a stand-a-lone.
The characters are well developed and varied. Each has their own personality, strengths, and quirks. The relationships between them evolve as they are forced to work and fight together.
The action builds throughout the story util we reach endings that are certainly not a loss, but still qualified victories.
The blurb on Amazon refers to this as “The last Lumenian Book.” This surprises me as I think there is more of the story to tell. There are still questions that need answers and people to rescue.
I recommend this book, especially if the Sci Fi Fantasy genre is in your wheelhouse.

[Ivana S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eldryan Elders delivers another thrilling chapter in The Last Lumenian saga, blending science fiction and fantasy in a galaxy teetering on the edge of chaos. As a fan, I can’t help but admire Lilla’s strength and vulnerability. She’s a heroine torn between duty, love, and the weight of destiny. The jungle world of Cathal brings rich world-building, with hidden societies and ancient powers shaping the stakes of the Era War. The tension is real, and betrayal is always one step away. I loved the magic, political intrigue, and personal growth Lilla undergoes. While this is book five, it keeps the energy and emotional depth fresh. If you’re into fierce protagonists, interstellar drama, and secrets with cosmic consequences, this book won’t disappoint. It’s a compelling reminder that sometimes, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.

[Mayra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eldryan Elders is an epic continuation, and a worthy culmination, of The Last Lumenian saga. S.G. Blaise has once again delivered a gripping blend of sci-fi and fantasy, expanding the universe while keeping the emotional stakes deeply personal.
The tension in this book is palpable. As Lilla faces a crumbling sense of trust and a new Ankhar rises, the story crackles with betrayal, mystery, and cosmic consequences. Her internal struggle, especially with Moira weakening and her magic stretched thin, adds rich emotional depth.
What I love most is how Blaise continues to evolve Lilla as a character. She's a strategist, a leader, and someone carrying the weight of entire galaxies. The revelations about the Eldryan Elders and their ties to the archgod's plan are shocking and satisfying.
A fantastic, emotionally resonant finale that fans of the series will absolutely devour.

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

​I completely immersed myself in the book Eldryan Elders and managed to take an exciting journey while reading. From the first pages, I was completely captivated by the story created by Blaise about the complexity of the universe. I was also captivated from beginning to end by the world of fiction and fantasy that I found while I was reading and that led me to the most incredible secrets of the galaxies. It's one of those books that you don't want to stop reading. I love the story, the unexpected turns of the book, and the very well developed characters. Another thing that caught me the most is Blaise's ability to mix themes between loyalty and betrayal that took the reading from end to end. A book recommended for its magic, intrigue and cosmic mysteries.

[Marina Lujan · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a fan of fantasy, I can’t help but get excited whenever a new book in The Last Lumenian series comes out, and Eldryan Elders was no different. This fifth installment not only meets the high expectations set by the series but goes beyond them. From the very beginning, I was drawn into the lively and perilous world of the distant planet Cathal, where ancient secrets and shocking betrayals take center stage. The unexpected twists and complex alliances kept me engaged all the way to the final page.

This book, in my opinion, is more than just a thrilling read; it's a representation of the author's ongoing development and expansion of the world I've grown to adore. This is the ideal moment to begin this series if you haven't already. Don't pass up this journey!

A captivating novel
“Eldryan Elders” is another part of the Last Lumeninan series penned by S. G. Blaise. The story has taken another twist that puts Lilla in a situation where she must find someone to rely on to finish the war. Lilla needs to unveil the truth about the Eldryan Elders’ society to protect the ones she loves and to survive - there's a lot to do in the present to save the galaxy but they must go back to the past to see the connection between the Eldryan Elders and archgod’s plans.
The setting is well-depicted, allowing readers to feel immersed in those places and feel part of the battles that begin. It’s an action-packed fantasy adventure that will leave readers at the edge of their seats. I highly recommend it.

[Margarita Garcia · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite series!

Everything is unpredictable in the Age of War, and Lilla must gather her knowledge and strength to fight the greatest war she has ever faced. ''Eldryan Elders'' takes us to the planet Cathal, with different landscapes that Lilla has never known. We already know how capable the protagonist is, but in this novel she not only has to face her enemies, but she also has to face her past that comes back to challenge her. As the last book of the series, it is a must-read. The author never disappoints with her wonderful Lilla and her incredible evolution throughout the series. I simply loved it, don't miss the opportunity to read about Lilla's incredible adventure and immerse yourself in her world. I highly recommend it.

[Almiria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eldryan Elders by S. G. Blaise is the fifth instalment of The Last Lumerian series and is as lush, descriptive and action-packed as the previous books in this epic fantasy. In Cathal, Lilla must overcome her own dwindling powers to stay ahead of the threat that faces her – and everyone else. Her ultimate challenge, however, will be to reveal the truths about the Eldyrian Elders, but will she survive the attempt?

Readers who enjoy great world-building and scene-setting will love this blend of mysticism, fantasy and science fiction. It’s best to start at the beginning of the series, however, as the story has so much content and backstory. Jumping in late in the series would be a pity, in my opinion, as you’d lose so much context.

[Maps R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally, the 5th book! It is amazing how The Last Lumen series has been, and I'm very excited about this recent book. It is amazing how the author has been guiding us through the life of Lilia, his ability to write manages to engage any reader and will connect with you, allowing you to relax and enjoy an amazing fantasy.

This fantasy is guided by Lilia, her challenges, her powers and her adventures. You will reflect on the lives of other people while rediscovering ancient civilizations. It is nice how the author also brings into the plot aspects that make us think about our reality, the reality of cultural appropriation, and how little we know about other tribes or cultures.

I really enjoy this fantasy, which also makes me consider the reality of our magical planet and its diversity.

[Carlos Romero · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this Last Lumenian book series, which throws you headfirst into a wild, imaginative universe. Lilla's journey to Cathal is mind-blowing; it's a deep dive into ancient secrets that could turn into a massive war. The planet itself is a character, with its amethyst mountains and tangled jungles, all brought to life with vivid detail.
This book isn't just about battles and magic, however, the author, deepens in deep topics about trust and sacrifice, making you think about what it means to lead when everything's falling apart. Lilla's struggles feel real, and her relationships, especially with Callum, add a layer of heart to the chaos. This book is not the exception about this series, it is a mix of action and deep thinking that’ll keep you hooked the whole time.

[ZebraDebra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the fifth book in the series and it is apparently the last one. That is a pity because I found it even better than the previous book. There was not as much confusion as I experienced in the fourth volume.

Lilla is the strong main character and she develops noticeably throughout the story. She has to fight inner battles as well as having to try and save the Seven Galaxies in a desperate war. Cathal, the mysterious jungle world on which she finds herself, is vibrantly described by the author.

The climax of this series has everything that a science fiction fantasy novel should have—colorful characters, magic, psychic abilities and more. I hope there will be further books by S. G. Blaise.

[Steven Finkelstein · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fifth and final book in The Last Lumenian sci-fi cycle. In Cathal, Lilla is deep in the Era War. On this steamy jungle world, she encounters a society that could impact the conflict in profound ways. Now, she doesn’t know the best path forward, but she’d better figure it out, and quickly. With the fate of the galaxy on the line, she must determine who is friend and who is foe.

Those who are new to this series would probably do best to read the previous installments, but even new arrivals should find this novel engrossing. The fascinating characters, rich world building, and impactful dialogue make this an adventure story not to be missed. To find out the fate of the Seven Galaxies, don’t miss this exciting conclusion to this sprawling literary epic.

A good fiction book

If you want to read mystery, fiction, and adventure, this is the book.
It is written in clear and easy-to-understand language, where the settings and characters are described in such a vivid and well-developed way that the reader can form an almost exact idea of what they are like, keeping the senses focused on the reading and on the development of the main story.
Lilla, the main character in the plot, finds herself caught up in an adventure full of magic, politics, and betrayal, where she is forced to make a series of decisions and take actions that will keep the reader in suspense and intrigue, eager to find out how this adventure will end.
If you’re not sure whether you like the fiction genre, this book could be a good option.

[Aneley Sánchez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantasy and mystery.

With a powerful female character like the protagonist this fantasy story invites the readers to travel through an incredibly built galaxy in which she and her partners will live endless adventures. Eldryan Elders is a fantasy novel that develops around a power war based on mysteries and secrets much older than that.
It is the fifth installment of the series, so it is totally necessary to read the previous book and so to understand the true background of the story. It is a sure choice for fans of the fantasy genre. At first it reminded me of a similar famous story and I thought I wouldn't be able to stop comparing it, but in the end the author managed to captivate me with his creation. I liked it!

[S Tyty · Rating 5 out of 5]

It goes without saying that if a series already has 5 installments, it is supposed to be a good one. Eldryan Elders is not an exception, the 5th book in The Last Lumenian series is as promising as the previous ones.
Blaise has, once again, offered us a proper fantasy fictional narrative, with vivid descriptions of events, lively characters that keep the storyline moving toward an unexpected ending that keeps us thinking about how someone could have written something so good!
The story delves into secrets and challenges where enemies and allies coexist. It is well-structured, easy-flowing, and entertaining. This is a perfect narrative for any type of reader; I absolutely recommend it!

Great Book!

This latest installment of "The last lumenian" saga is really exciting and captivating. In this book the reader will not only experience an exciting science fiction book but also mystery, drama and action work that make the reading exercise a very exciting experience indeed. The descriptive, simple and unique language used by the author makes it easy for the reader to not only engage with the events, stories and characters of the book but to imagine each of the scenarios in a very easy and unique way. The story and narrative lends itself to the author's ability to really get into the world of science fiction. Highly recommended!

[Chico's Mom · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this series installment, Lilla explores the planet of Cathal, just like the previous book. The author wrote this highly immersive story, and the author takes you to this fascinating fantasy world. The underwater realm is my favorite location as the author vividly describes the bioluminescent carn. The sponge-like creatures are intriguing. The sharp and engaging dialogue between the characters has much depth, especially in the twins Isa and Bella. Elderyans reminds me of People from the Capitol meets Ancient Greece; this book would be a great TV series. I can only imagine the costumes and the settings; I wonder if the author would consider creating a graphic novel; it would be a hit. 

[Daniel Moreno · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this book, very good and full of memorable moments. I really liked this adventure book. As we continue Lilla's story. In this great book, Lilla finds herself in a new world that is beautiful, but not everything has to be good in this world; this world is full of dangers, from this world and the next. The focus of the story is based on how our main character has to figure out what our antagonist is up to. Fans of the series will love this book from beginning to end since it is our beloved Lilla, in another world and having much more advanced encounters, since the world she is in is much larger. I really liked this incredible book.

[Melissa Hernandez-Alvarez · Rating 4 out of 5]

I did not want to put this book down! Lilla can never catch a break - she always has to go through some sort of ringer. I enjoy reading this series. We have a great balance of sci-fi and fantasy, some romance, action, and just everything you want out of a book. I appreciate the bickering or disagreements between Lilla and her father-in-law. It provides a personal touch to the series. We enter another world, Cathal, and Lilla is trying her best. We also get to see her grow a little more - really become a leader here. You're hooked for the entire ride, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her. I'm trying not to spoil here, but you should pick this book up!

When a skirmish goes wrong, Lilla discovers the existence of a society with the power to tip the scales of war. Will she know who to trust? Or will her intuition and trust be betrayed?

The galaxies created by this author are undoubtedly extraordinary and magical. I recommend this book and its prequel to all science fiction lovers. who want to enjoy a good read.

If you are looking for a book that will take you out of your day-to-day life and into another world, this book is perfect for you. In this book you will find the story of a protagonist like those we like, empowered and capable of anything, who has to discover several secrets to save the 7 galaxies and especially to save those close to her. It is a book full of intrigue that has an incredible narrative, it takes you to immerse yourself completely in this world with mysteries and secrets that give a lot of power to the plot.
