This was an excellent retelling of the story of Loki and Sigyn from her point of view. I love Norse mythology and gobbled up Neil Gaiman's versions.

While I knew the general outline/outcome of their stories it was really refreshing to hear.it told from this perspective.

I did find that the middle part of the book dragged a bit. There is a lot of history and minor stories in the mythology and some just went on a little too long. Ragnarok was very fast paced and well done.
