The way in which the story was written was dull and repetitive. The myths themselves had no imagery to them, so it was an informative, if at times both dull and confusing read. The Prose Edda at the end was written incredibly strangely and was the Norse creation story, which should have been interesting. It wasn't, the prose was just boring and not at all vivid. I read this solely to ensure that I understand The Legend of Sugurd and Gudrun more (by J.R.R Tolkien) and to that effect I think it shall help me. Otherwise, don't bother reading this, it's a waste of time and totally uninspiring. Myths are supposed to be wonderful and awe-inducing, yet this was un-provocative of any sort of great feelings.
