The Last of the Warrior Kings was i think a sort of a thriller/mystery book and is targetted to teenage readers. The story is about Max , a young teenager who lives in London. While i was reading , i was easily drawn into the story with max and his twin brother Angelo as they were running away from a hooded gang. The gang were chasing a famous rapper , Mogul King who gives a package to Max which contained an ancient sacrificial dagger before he was killed. Withing a few hours Angelo also died , and Max realises that his brother was involved in the dangerous "mission" to send the Benin Bronzes back to Nigeria where they were looted years ago. Max and his friends Sapphire and Roland sort of pieced the whole puzzle together while being "commanded" "threathened" by the More Dread Crew , who were out to retrieve the ancient sacrificial dagger which Max possessed and to hide the truth about it. Max and his friends had a plan to free the ancient treasures of Benin and reveal the More Dread Crew to the rest of the world and all the secrets they hid.
In my opinion , the plot was a bit too predictable for a thriller , usually when you read a thriller book you'd be suspicious of what would happen next but as for this book , i kinda knew what would happen after reading half of the book. If you're into thriller/mysterious books then i recommend this to you. But the plot is a bit predictible and dull ._. I'd give it a .. 6-7 out of 10 i think :O
Nice to see your review up on the blog! Sounds as if the book disappointed you a bit but hopefully we will be able to find a better one for you next time.
