Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
4.0
Week 9 Book 4
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Rating 4/5
The year began sluggishly but I'm glad I'm catching up.
Happy to finish my 4th book of the year. Which also happens to be my first Neil Gaiman, a gift from my friend Mohit.
NM is a beautifully crafted compendium of stories from folklore of Asgard, Aesir, Odin, Loki, and Thor.
Carefully researched and articulately woven into stories written in simple to understand language, the stories are a delight to read, and a wonderful look into the world Norse Myths.
My only grouse is that despite being easy to read language wise, the content may not be suitable for youngsters, as there is some amount of blood and gore. So I'd have to wait before I could introduce this to my daughter.
But apart from that, it's a great introduction to Norse Mythology, and a must read for all who are interested in this area.
