![]() ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's just a one-week road trip with the man who broke her heart.

I genuinely could not put it down when I was reading and I ended up finishing it in two sittings. I think for me, the book excels most at capturing the tense atmosphere. Sure, there is a mysterious death, but the tension doesn’t come from the mystery of how Patrick Ashby died, instead, it’s largely focused on Brat’s attempt to pass as an Ashby and his tense relationship with Simon, Patrick’s twin. ![]() ![]() In terms of genre, I think it’s more similar to a thriller than a mystery. ![]() Named after its protagonist, Brat Farrar is the story of how Brat comes to become Patrick Ashby, the heir to the Ashby fortune, and what happens after he’s been accepted into the family.
