A review by nemesislore
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

4.0

I saw this wording in another review and I’ll echo it for emphasis: this work is more like source material for Norse mythology rather than fiction. It’s a collection of tales (that do weave together to form one larger story) that make up the mythology surrounding Thor, Loki, Odin, and many others. I think going into it I was expecting it to be more like a fictional retelling, so I felt a bit disappointed at first, but I picked it because I adore Greek mythology and have always been interested in Norse mythology from afar. So though it wasn’t what I anticipated, I still really enjoyed the experience of reading it and now of understanding many of these tales.
