A review by flijn
Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt

4.0

Beautiful and haunting, this retelling of the end of the world of the Northern gods. Byatt combines a exquisite eye for detail with the mysterious detachment that goes with myths and gods.

Maybe I am prejudiced towards this because I share Byatt's experience of the early-childhood encounter with the Edda. Either way, it is stunning.
