A review by nicnevin
Loki by Melvin Burgess

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I have never felt so mixed about a book. It's a good read, interesting, vivid and frank.

However,

There was a lot of concentration on rape which I would have preferred not to read
