A review by haynoelle96
The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson
3.0
3.5/5
This is the best known source on Norse Mythology and while fascinating, at times it is a bit hard to understand. Reading about the different myths surrounding the gods that are embedded in our pop culture (Thor and Loki) was super interesting and I wish there was a version that explained things more clearly or if it was annotated. The stories were certainly a quick read, as the book was super short, and there were things that I learned that I wasn't aware of before I picked this up. Glad a class made me read it.
