I received a free copy of ‘The Last Child of Asgard; Delta’ in exchange for an honest review.
Let me first point out that (I think) this is a book aimed at ‘young adult’ readers, of which I am a few years beyond.
The first few pages bring you straight into the action, and hook the reader with a good insight into the life and mind-set of the protagonist, Max.
From then on, you are drawn into a world involving the fifteen year old Max Turner, a whole host of Greek and Norse gods, a spattering of the mythology of both, and the angsts and friendships of a group of teens at a school for heroes.
It’s a non-stop book of action and drama, with some good plot twists and moments that have you eager to turn the page. Chapters often finished at intriguing cliff hangers, and one event in particular had me gasping in shock as I didn’t see it coming, at all.
Max is an endearing character whose life I quickly came to care about, and thus wanted to see how things progressed for him. However, it was his friend, Caleb, with his witty one-liners, that really caught my attention – but that’s me; I like the funny guys.
This book is a bit of a mix of ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’ and ‘X Men’ and, if you enjoy those stories/characters, you may well enjoy this.

Interesting story. Good cast of characters with some unusual backgrounds.
