DNF - made it 28% into the book and decided this really wasn’t for me, which is a shame as it sounded like something I would/should have loved.

The voice of Loki as narrator never *quite* worked for me all of the time, but still, this is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

This is a book that is both ahead of a trend and as such possibly dated in retrospect. It is by no means a bad story. in fact, given your level of knowledge on Norse mythology, it might be a great introduction for you. It certainly has one element that hasn't aged beyond popularity. There's a jovial tonality that is always refreshing, entertaining, and increasingly popular in this type of subgenre. However in an age where myth retelling are exploding this doesn't bring a whole lot to the table other than it's Loki-favorable spin. Outside of some framing to make the tales more favorable rather that cynical to Loki and wit-isms, even with my base knowledge of the lore it didn't bring a whole lot I"d consider as new or engaging in itself. Not a terrible read, just not as engaging and immersive as I had hoped.

The idea of the book is fun, but it's unnecessarily cis, straight and misogynistic.

It has a slow pace with some clever bits scattered throughout. The reader's voice was perfect for the role.
