Very enjoyable! Quick, short stories that build on from one another. It has an interesting set of characters - although more female characters wouldn't have gone amiss. Loki was really testing me towards the end. I don't think I could've kept reading about him.

Overall very fun and educational. It was interesting to read the origins of these norse myths (or at least Gaiman's interpretations of them).

Suitable for younger readers, but there are graphic descriptions of darker themes:

TW: death, murder, animal death/sacrifice, body horror, torture, violence, war
