A review by mrej
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

informative medium-paced

3.5

First book of 2024! I think I'm out of my reading slump and I've finally finished this book. I loved the audiobook but my library loan ended so I had to wait to finish this one. I loved the way that Gaiman brought the gods to life in this collection of Norse myths. It had a brilliant combination of knowledge, tension and humour. This really reminded me of Stephen Fry's mythology series, which is one of my favourites.

I have to admit the stories often felt very disjointed so I struggled to find motivation to pick it back up. But a brilliant read and great first book!
