I've never been a particularly big fan of Marvel Loki (EXCEPT as portrayed in the Squirrel Girl comics) but I AM a big fan of Mackenzi Lee so I decided to check this out and honestly: DO I LIKE LOKI NOW? I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

Anyway this is a great story about Odin's shitty parenting that also doesn't EXCUSE Loki's shitty decisions (or Thor's for that matter), but it gets you a chance to root for a (younger, less...malevolent) Loki. And the historical fiction/secret society angle is so fun, and it's great that an ~official~ Marvel novel is lightly discussing Loki's pansexuality (though his mlm flirtation with a human doesn't really progress very far, it does give a deft little glance into queer history/labor history.)

Really enjoyable for Marvel fans (even if you're not a particular Loki fan!) but also would likely have crossover appeal to mythology fans/historical fiction fans.
