Ayan's Book Review
The Last Shadow Warrior

-by Sam Subity

'The Last Shadow Warrior' is a compelling start to a new series.

The author Sam Subity has wonderfully woven the Beowulf legend into this action-packed middle-grade adventure. But one doesn’t have to read Beowulf to enjoy this book. 

Abby is a very strong character, and readers of all ages are sure to fall in love with her right from the first page. Abby is still grieving her mother’s untimely death and she wants to become like her mother. Once at her home, she is attacked by someone, whom she suspects as the Grendel. Abby and her dad leave for Minnesota to hide, but they meet with an accident, making her dad seriously injured. 

Abby is admitted to a school that's definitely strange and mysterious. She suspects that Grendels are hunting her, but no one in the school believes that Grendels are real and are hunting Abby.
Can Abby and her friends convince the council that Grendels are real? Can they save Abby’s dad before it’s too late? Read this incredible story to find out.

I loved every character in this book. They are unique and realistic. Grimsby and Gwynn are terrific friends, and they provide help and support to Abby at the time of need. Abby is smart, hilarious, and quick-witted. 

I give this book 5/5 stars as I loved this book right from the first page and remained hooked till the end. I can’t wait to read the sequel of this book.

Happy reading!

P.S. This is a Percy Jackson type of book with Norse mythology spin to it.
