abetterjulie 's review for:

Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt
3.0

The list-making of creatures can get a little dull, rather than being inspiring as the author probably intended. The parts of the story I like best are the ones most liked by the author herself, so there is an inherent bias in the story-telling toward Loki and his offspring, but it is still enjoyable.
The "Thoughts on Myth" at the end of the book was particularly pleasurable, as it affirmed many of my own thoughts while sending me to other sources to continue learning.
