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.
