This book proved to be WAY more readable than its predecessor. Don't get me wrong, I liked Gospel of Loki just fine, it's just I had heard all the myths the book highlighted so it just read like a greatest hits album at certain points. Seeing Loki interact with the modern day in a form not his own, as well as the less stoic tone of the narration, makes it easier to engage with. The second half veers into a somewhat abstract, complex direction, but that didn't really hurt my enjoyment of the story.
