This was well written but something about the "present day" story just wasn't for me. I think I just didn't find myself caring about what was happening to any of the characters or rooting for any of them and some of the slice of life parts felt long and drawn out.
If you like the parts of the TV show/comics where Loki is an agent of time dealing with the bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority or the Temps Commission agents on Umbrella Academy then you might enjoy this.
Also, has long chapters so if you're someone who is put off by that maybe skip this one.
I think maybe it felt more like a screenplay than a book.
Still giving 4 stars because even though it wasn't for me I can acknowledge it was well written and the themes were good.

Surprisingly tender and even more surprisingly brutal — and impossible to put down. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.
