A review by trin
Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman

3.0

Enjoyable if slight. As usual, Gaiman’s use of mythological characters—in this case, those wacky old Norse Gods—is fantastic. I just wish his human character, Odd, had been less of a cypher. His journey didn’t feel as meaningful as it could have since he was mostly such a blank: more of a Shadow, alas, and less of a Richard Mayhew. (I love Richard, okay? I will totally arm wrestle over his superiority to all other slightly befuddled Neil Gaiman protagonists. RICHARD FOREVER.)

Ahem. Anyway, fun story; not quite great. WHEN ARE YOU WRITING ANOTHER ADULT NOVEL, NEIL?
