Purporting to be a memoir which even the blurb specifies should be taken with a pinch of salt, this book presents the history of Asgard through the eyes of Loki, the trickster god. From his initial meeting with Odin to Ragnarok itself, The Gospel of Loki delves into the “truth” behind Norse mythology.
Much of the fun comes from Loki's irreverent first person perspective. With his side remarks, cocksure attitude and brashness, he's an undeniably entertaining narrator. Even when he is spawning monsters and working to undermine his fellow Asgardians, Harris always finds a way to make the reader root for him.
