A short overview of Odin and the beginnings of the Norse gods mythology. Not bad if you’ve never really delved into them before.

I received a copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for a review.
This was such a great introduction to Odin, and to Norse mythology as a whole. Focused on Odin, this story covers the creation story of Norse mythology, the discovery of runes, the mead of poetry, the Aesir and Vanir, and the beginning of Odin and Loki's brotherhood. (I also appreciate that this book didn't just immediately demonize Loki, I hope future novels are the same.)
The art is lovely, and a great way to read the myths. I really enjoyed it, as someone familiar with Norse myths, and would be a great read for those both new and familiar to the pantheon. I look forward to the rest of the books.

I would like to thank Netgalley for providing me with an ARC copy of this book. This book is absolutely gorgeous and I really enjoyed reading it. Being a fan of Mythology this is by far my favourite book.
I love how the author presented the story оf Odin, his origins, his quest for wisdom and his role as the All-Father. The graphic novel has stunning artwork and a captivating compilation оf stories about Odin and the other Gods. The novel also provides useful resources tо learn more about the norse myths, such as the index, glossary, character profiles and Norse Code at the end оf the book.
I am eagerly waiting for the next installment, as well as the series оf Olympians graphic novels.
