A review by krisglomb
The Poetic Edda by Unknown

adventurous emotional informative medium-paced

3.0

3 stars for the fact that my edition definitely could have been better researched, translated, and edited. My version had multiple misspelled words, sometimes a forgotten untranslated phrase, and most of the end notes referenced Wikipedia 💀

So how is this still sitting at 3 stars? Because in spite of all of that I think it got me to fall in love with this myth. The prose really grabbed me in some of these poems and I felt like I could still be put in a place where these stories had power. I see why this is a text that has always been worth saving.
