Loki: Where Mischief Lies
by Mackenzi Lee
Loki will always and forever be my evil snake boy.
“You're already the villain in everyone's stories, Loki," she replied, dropping her veil over her face. "Why not start playing your part?”
I swear to you, Mackenzi Lee pulled the Marvel straight out of Loki. Dialogue between him and Thor was spectacular, and I mean almost exactly as I would have imagined it coming from an Avengers movie.
‘Before the days of going toe-to-toe with the Avengers, a younger Loki is desperate to prove himself heroic and capable, although it seems everyone around him suspects him of inevitable villainy and depravity…’
Whimsical and enthralling, this book surpassed my expectations endlessly. The plot was simply amazing to follow- it was such a pleasure to see themes of sexuality explored during the Victorian Era in London as a big portion of the book is set during that time. The method of comparing Asgard’s open mindedness (Loki is genderfluid) to earth’s closed mindedness was just brilliant.
The banter between Loki and Thor as brothers was hilarious- I couldn’t get enough of their interactions. It was the perfectly added light-hearted touch to a great story.
“Perhaps the future was only inevitable once you began to shape all your actions to fit it.”
The side characters were an absolute joy, Theo was easily my favourite. My heart hurt for him and his fondness of Loki, his character added another dimension to the Victiorian Era theme that I loved.
If you’re a fan of Marvel or Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki, you will without a doubt enjoy this gem of a story.

Before reading
Two things happened today.
1: My sister and I began binging the Marvel movies we haven't seen before going to watch Endgame in theatres.
2. I found out about this book.
Loki is my favourite Marvel character ever, Mackenzie Lee one of my favourite authors.
Clearly I need more mischief in my life.
