The purchase of this book was the product of a perfect storm (or a genius idea). Thor had just hit theaters. Amazon put this book on its daily deals list for under $1. I had to buy it. Fast forward nine years to where I have finally read it. It is hard for me to see this book as a novel. It read m...
There’s never just one side to a story. Most of the time, we only hear the winner’s story, the hero’s story. The Norse myths come us through a few written sources—eddas and sagas and rune stones—that were handed down from the oral tradition. All of them are the stories of the victors and great heroe...
I had such an up-and-down time with this book. At first, I was really excited to read this book because it was all about Loki, the Norse God of Mischief, and I have always had an interest in Norse mythology. However, I almost stopped reading this book because the dialogue is atrocious. For instance,...
My latest on B&N SciFi! A very enjoyable romp around the Norse mythology I know from my childhood, but with some subtle meta-commentary on mythic tricksters and devils.

Well, I did too, of course, but I've been around a bit and I've met bad boys before. I was impressed with the way Joanne Harris created him: his voice...
I just couldn't get into this. Maybe it was the craziness of the holidays or I am just burnt out...who knows. I love Loki but this book just didn't grab me at all.
Really fun read for in between. The Gospel of Loki serves as a nice take on the most important Norse myths and tells you the stories of Asgard and the Nine Worlds from an interesting point of view.At school I studied the Greek mythology most, and only tangentially got to know about the Norse mytholo...
Loki, nordischer Gott der Lügen und Tricksereien, erzählt in diesem Roman wie die Dinge aus seiner Sicht geschehen sind. Beginnend mit Lokis Rekrutierung aus dem Chaos und dem Aufstieg der nordischen Götter, geht die Erzählung weiter mit seinen vielen Aufträgen und Tricksereien, bis hin zum Untergan...
