Ragnarok
by A.S. Byatt
I was quite disapointed in "Ragnarok." Norse mythology is my favorite, and I've read a number of other books in the "Myths" collection and enjoyed them greatly, but not "Ragnarok." I think the problem I had with it was that while the others used the myth as a jumping off point, Byatt stuck too closely to the originals, and in doing so, added nothing to it. Almost everything in "Ragnarok" can be found in either "Edda" or "The Poetic Edda." Maybe for those who are new to Norse Mythology this would be a good book, but for readers versed in the myths, while technically well done, this book is a dud.
