The Gospel of Loki
by Joanne M. Harris
The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris was a hilarious and fun book to read about Norse Mythology but told via the first-person narrative of our favourite trickster, Loki.
Loki, tells the readers that he is telling the “true” story because history is written on the side of the winners and therefore the others are not reliable narrators. He believes that history, has cast him in a unflattering role.
As Loki starts his tale of his recruitment by Odin from the realm of Chaos, through his years as the go-to man of Asgard, to his fall from grace in the build-up to Ragnarok, this is the unofficial history of the world’s ultimate trickster, we as the readers see that perhaps our dear Loki is not as reliable as he believes either. Most of the problems tend to come back to him as the mastermind but his such a loveable and hilarious trickster that you forget that and continue to love him as a character.
Loki is the hero of his own story
The writing of Joanne M. Harris was beautiful, witty and hilarious. Her characters really came to life, the worlds she described was amazing and overall an enjoyable read. 3.75 stars
