slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Loki Deserves His Revenge
I got so frustrated with Odin and the Asgardians. They were cruel, spiteful and just plain rude from the beginning.
I adored this, and was so glad I finally read it. And I was able to listen to the audiobook on a road trip. (I write this review about 2 hours from home on the trip back). I’m looking forward to the sequel, hopefully there is some justice served.

Could not get into the romantic backstory of Loki & Odin. Just too weird for me.

I wouldn't say I wasn't invested, but sometimes the story dragged a little bit. I had some issues with the narration, for example, the fact that in the beginning and in the end we get that rando POV to whom Loki for some reason feels the need to tell his life story, and the fact that we don't actually see how Loki managed to escape his bonds.
As for the characters, I liked the character of Loki, as well as Sigyn; I hated Frigg, but I gotta respect the bad bitch, she had an aim, she was working towards it, that was true dedication, we all need to take notes. Also, I liked the take on Odin at first, but then he started acting weird and became Frigg's cockhold. I mean, same, but still, that was unexpected considering how hard he tried to calm Frigg down prior to the final battle. The final battle, by the way, was confusing as hell, felt like a video game where enemies take turns at attacking you, and the next in line just stand somewhere in the background like caveman Sponge Bobs.
So, I did have a good time, and really want to read the next instalments, and even plan on reading the prequel novella since I loved the idea that Loki and Odin have a very specific history together. But for now, I cannot say it was my favourite interpretation of Loki's story. It didn't have enough feelings and boring moral ruminations to my liking, nor it was feisty and adventurously enough to grip my attention; but I have high hopes that my opinion might be changed by the next books.
