Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
2017/282 pgs

A quick, easy, and wonderful telling of the Norse Mythology taken from the original sources. If someone is interested in Thor, Odin, and even Loki and what the Norse believed how the gods shaped the world, this book is the one to read.

I loved how Loki got Thor’s infamous Mjollnir created by saving himself from the god of Thunders wraith after stealing his wife’s beautiful hair. Many of the trials and tribulations of Norse mythology comes from the fun Loki has at others expenses.

For myself, one of my favorite gods in Norse Mythology is the one handed god of war Tyr and I’ve always wondered the circumstances that cause Fenrir to bite off Tyr’s right hand.

Also, the true story of Ragnarok and what happens during and after. Unless you want to just live in the Marvel worlds version.

As mentioned, this is a fast read.

Would recommend to anyone that is fascinated with old world Mythology.

Happy Reading,
