I tried very hard to get into this book, but I just couldn't. I realized when I picked it up it is short stories and I've never been able to get into short stories. I'm quite interested in learning about Norse Mythology, but the short story format just didn't work for me. I'm sure it is a great book, and this is a me problem! It was time for me to bail as I wasn't getting any reading done. I'll probably try to come back to it at some point.

dabbe #hailthebail! 🤩🤩🤩 No problem with you at all! I prefer mythology in a novel format myself, and I'm so glad some are finally coming out (like Madeline Miller's CIRCE). The short stories can be quite dry, can't they? Life's too short, and there are too many other great books out there! 3w
Smarkies I didn't realise this was short stories... those are not my preferred format either... 😞 2w

Absolutely loved this and a large part was the audio narrator. I feel like most Norse retellings trod the same ground so this POV was a nice surprise.

5feet.of.fury ❤️ this book, I agree I love Angrboda‘s perspective so much, I felt like Loki was very much the expected Loki so it was good not to have the whole focus there, but have it as a reference 2mo

I'm really not finding much time to read because I've been so busy with work lately. Hope I get more than a few pages in before I fall asleep tonight 😆! I'm really looking forward to this book and I'm hoping it can transport me to a different world.

Second #bookspin of 2024! #13 has been chosen which means I'll be reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. I'm really excited to read another book by Neil Gaiman as I enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

Thank you @thearomaofbooks for another spin!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 2mo

Beautifully written and wonderfully evocative. The first third was a little rough (I like banter, but I found it repetitive here) but there‘s a moment mid-way through the story where everything clicked into place and I devoured the rest of the story in a few sittings.

A re-telling of some Norse myths. At times I wondered who the target audience was because the language seemed overly simplified so maybe tweens or teens? Ultimately I didn't really care. I still enjoyed it.
