![]() ![]() I don’t want to believe that the gods of Vikings and Shield Maidens were this passive and didn’t relish in blood, violence and gore. I did expect this book to have a bit more adult oriented material, especially from the author of American Gods. The gods in these stories sure do talk a lot, they are good natured but treats being a wise-ass as a good thing. Gaiman tried to make these stories a bit more interesting than they actually are, while staying away from “comic book” lore, or to make them too pop-culture like. Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman does not disappoint, as the author tells wonderful stories in an easy to read, relatable manner. I knew very little about these stories before opening the book, and was looking forward to learn more. His imagination knows no bounds, and his storytelling is masterful. I have enjoyed several of his books and graphic novels. I was very excited to read another Neil Gaiman work. Gaiman is a prolific author – and one of my personal favorites. Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman is a retelling of the stories which captivated many over centuries. ![]()
