We read this is school, expecting it to be the typical school book (e.g. brutal, boring, horrible). Gosh, was I surprised! The story is quite amazing, actually. The plot twists are mindblowing.

I loved this book. It explains the struggle of gender in our society so well, phrases things that I was aware of but couldn’t have said out loud if I tried. Eye-opening, honestly.

I freaking loved it. The genius of Terry and Neil is really appreciated by this book. The plot and the characters and the way of the entire thing is just so intricate. It’s the kind of book where you feel like you just read 2 pages, but it was actually 20. Would’ve swallowed it in one session if my life hadn’t got in the way…

I really liked how love and the Force were portrayed here. It was really interesting to gain so much more insight into it and it really fascinated me. Binged it in three days, and loved it.

This book made me rethink how love is normally portrayed. Usually it’s perfection and beauty, but here it was shown as cruel and well, very different from the usual way. I loved it.

This book is awesome; not only because it gives you an insane insight into Loki's mind and soul (jk we all know he doesn't have one), but we learn that he didn't just wake up one day and chose violence; he was driven to his actions, betrayal and deceitfulness by the actions, betrayals and deceitfulness of others. He was forged into The Trickster by the cruelty of The Asgardian Gods. And honestly, I'm here for it. For the funny anecdotes and retellings of his history and the norse mythology from an unexpected perspective. And there isn't a lack of poetry and elegance either; Loki does have a way with words. All in all, a really good book that I'm glad to have read and will totally recommend; even to people who aren't mythology nerds. My only complaint would be that here, Loki wasn't really portrayed as genderfluid (I'm not really sure if that's just Marvel or actual mythology - if it's just Marvel I take it back).
