The Last Ranger by J.D.L. Rosell

We should all be more able to express our Mahia. That is the moral message presented in “The Last Ranger.” or at least the one that is most remarkable. This is a tale of opposites—love and hate, allies and foes. But ultimately, we discover that the first option is always preferable. Although it takes some time for our protagonist Leiyn to understand, the message is straightforward but extremely effective.

Leiyn is always enraged during the time it takes her to learn this lesson. She was upset with her predicament, with people, and occasionally even with animals. She is the image of this dualistic narrative. She has good reason—she endured sorrow all throughout her life and right up until the conclusion of the story—but occasionally, as a reader, you wish she displayed more nuance. There are countless times when she starts to think more deeply and you start to talk to her about her more nuanced emotions, but it is always cut short by rage. However, in my capacity as a reviewer, I think this is deliberate. The finding of her Mahia and the rediscovery of the beauty of the world are made all the more remarkable by her willingness to get angry and snap. We come back to the lesson of our story: friendship and love triumph over hostility.

She will be in better shape once she has let go of her rage and bitterness. This is a straightforward message, yet it rings true in real life quite a bit. Once more, a fantasy tale reinforces lessons for the real world. She can heal her friend, safeguard those who are still near to her, and restrain power with her Mahia. A ranger “never turns their back on their sharpest tool” and “a ranger constantly sacrifices themselves to protect others.” Leiyn is able to put into practise both of these crucial lessons from her Ranger order because to the strength she rediscovers.

This strengthens the binary—and occasionally obvious—reason why our protagonist was written to be such an angry person and gives our overarching moral message even more power and legitimacy.
