Commentary Concering Books Norse Mythology

Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok.

In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.

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. 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.

2.5ish starsInteresting folklore told competently, descriptively and cleverly. That's about the gist of it.Most of the stories were new to me. Some of them I enjoyed more than others. All of the blurbs describe this as Gaiman's "version/rendition/interpretation" of the mythos (and he presents a good rendition) rather than actual fiction. As such, this was more of a "that was cool I'm glad I read that" read than a "whoa coolest book ever!" read. Favorites: The Treasures of the Gods, Freya's

I love Neil Gaiman's writing. I personally don't care a ton about reading mythology - though I'm down for a retelling - but even Neil Gaiman can make me enjoy a subject I don't are a ton about. I really enjoyed this and I'm glad I read it

"Had Ragnarok happened yet? Was it still to happen?I did not know then.I am not certain now." *Disclaimer--Offensive comments regarding which country has the best and most diverse mythology in the world (yes, there were people actually writing about and fighting over that (!) or comments regarding religion in general will be immediately deleted and flagged. Theres YouTube and Facebook if some want to engage in such nonsense as fighting over thin air.*Norse myths (aka Odin,Loki,Thor,Freya,the

Full review now posted!When I was a little girl, I was completely obsessed with mythology. Greek, Roman (or Greek with different names, because Rome was nothing if not unoriginal), Norse, Egyptian, Indian, Native American, Japanese, Russian, etc, were all equally interesting to me. I wanted to know what ancient civilizations believed and why, and how those beliefs still influenced their culture. My faith was important to me and heavily influenced how I viewed the world, so why wouldnt I be

Of course it was Loki. Its always Loki.If you ask me this quote is a sufficient summary of the entirety of Norse mythology. *lol* But no one asked me so Im going to continue to write down a few of my other thoughts. ;-P - I wish I could have read this before I read Uncle Ricks Magnus Chase series because there were all the details I wanted to know while I read those first two books. XD Also its kinda funny that Uncle Rick managed to write some of those stories into the plot of his books. ;-) -

**Spoiler Free Review** There is no glory without danger Before beginning the review, I clear out that I read this book as a fictional work not as the work which I believe can be/is true. I am telling you because this book was getting little serious about narrating these myths. Like trying to make us believe these are real facts. Now, the actual review: This book is the re-writing of Norse Mythology. Author doesn't exaggerate the facts. He simply re-writes some of the popular myths in pretty
