Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt

4.0

Byatt gives justice to the ominous quality of Norse mythology in this very short novella. I found it a good introductory book to get acquainted with the ancient stories of Norse gods, but it is also a compelling piece of literature -it deftly conveys the end of the world by narrating the chaos of Ragnarok, all through the eyes of a young girl who is also experiencing an end of a world - growing up during the Second World War.
