3.0

Byatt states that she doesn't want to artificially complicate the characters of the myth, and she achieved her aim, with her rich and meditative description focusing on environment and landscape rather than character. However I personally would have found it easier to anchor my understanding of the ragnarok tale, with a longer, more developed interpretation.
