A review by brian
The Jewel of Asgard by Aiki Flinthart
3.0
Two separate kids with far from ideal home lives get sucked into a video game that could have consequences for the real world.
I may not be the target audience for this book. The "hardships" the two main characters have in the real world are an overbearing step-father (who also seems to be rich, and they say the character lives in a mansion), and the other just has lots of sisters who are vain and self centred.
The story is a bit slow to get going as they realise what has happened and find a few companions along the way, but picks up in the second half.
