erine 's review for:
Odd and the Frost Giants
by Neil Gaiman
Odd has lost his father, lamed his leg in an accident and his mother has remarried a so-so man with several children of his own. Odd's down on his luck when he meets an eagle, a bear and a fox who are really some of the Norse gods ousted from their home by the frost giants.
Odd is a likable character in this short legend-tale. He travels with the three gods to their home city and convinces the frost giant (there's only one after all) to leave. Overall this is a short and sweet god-tale with minimal excitement but great storytelling. I also really like Brett Helquist's illustration style, and it seemed like a great fit for this story.
