A review by emdowd
Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt

2.0

I wish I liked this more. The premise is brilliant and I like mythology in general, so I was quite disappointed to see how difficult to get into this book ended up being. The prose is beautiful, both in terms of rhythm and evocative language, but something was off. I wasn't sure what, exactly, Byatt wants us to get out of this (the myths themselves or her version of them).
