treebe 's review for:
The Gospel of Loki
by Joanne M. Harris
Disclaimer: Prior to reading this book, my knowledge of Norse mythology was limited to a hammer-wielding blonde who looks suspiciously like Chris Hemsworth, and of his "brother", Tom Hiddleston.
…I mean, Loki.
That being said, reading "The Gospel of Loki" was a wonderfully entertaining experience. It's not often we're rewarded with a novel that gives us such rich play-by-play from the perspective of the antagonist, especially one with enough snark and ego to singlehandedly wipe out the Nine Worlds. Loki's unique sense of sardonic humor is present in every line, and with the exception of a few out of place 21st century idioms, Joanne Harris manages to stay true to the trickster we all know and love.
So for those looking to get their toes wet with a little Norse mythology, this is a grand place to start.
