Since this is set in Scandinavia this really brought me back to when I visited Iceland with the mountains, rivers, and oceans. “I need to find it.” “I’ll get you the cloak,” said Freya.” ~ Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman I’m not having you wearing it and going around and making mischief.” “Thor’s hammer has been stolen,” said Loki. “That cloak is the most valuable thing I possess. “The one that lets you fly.” “Absolutely not,” said Freya.
“I’d like to borrow your feathered cloak,” said Loki. So he did the next thing he did when things went wrong, and he went to ask Loki for advice. He did not believe even Loki would have dared to steal his hammer. The first thing he did was ask himself if what happened was Loki’s fault. There were things Thor did when something went wrong. Odin is far more shrouded in mystery than in the Marvel movies which I found jarring yet fascinating. He even has an interesting downward spiraling character arc. Loki is great as well with his dynamics with well everyone. I love Thor and I found myself laughing at his dynamics with Loki. I loved reading them all told this way because it allowed for more bonding with the different Norse gods as watch their adventures and mourn when they come to an end. This is a novel telling of all of the Norse myths in chronological order, starting from the world’s beginning to the world’s end. I’ve always loved Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology so it’s so amazing to see mythological tales written out in novel form. I freaking love mythologies and this book is like a dream of mine. Norton & Company Reprint edition (March 6, 2018) Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants.
