mikavon 's review for:
Norse Mythology
by Neil Gaiman
Fun!
Especially fun since I played God of War recently and already had some background info into Norse myths from that game. It was fun to see how things were different...
Loki is clearly the most fun character, though his eventual fate seemed way too harsh for the mostly harmless pranks he pulled... well, ok, he caused Baulder's death, but it's not his fault that the gods were tempting fate by trying to kill the guy.
Actually, Loki was quite honourable most of the time. I mean, he'd promise people things in order to get out of sticky situations, but then he'd actually follow through on those promises even though he could have just....not. Eg when the eagle released him in exchange for the immortality fruit. Once he was released, he didn't have to actually give the fruit over.
Honestly, this book was a lot of fun. An interesting and engaging collection of cool stories from Norse Mythology.
The first Neil Gaiman book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
