![]() This short story collection recounts many of Loki's most famous tales, and opens up a whole new perspective on the god of mischief's reasoning. The Trickster figure that spans across multiple mythologies and belief systems has always fascinated me and Loki is no exception. Let me start off by saying Mike Vasich has truly captured the unique flavor of Norse mythology that is adventurous and fantastic, but at the same time quite bizarre. This review is brought to you by the Godking himself! He is ever so excited to be involved in a review of a book that is about his absolute favorite subject. I got my copy as a kindle freebie thanks to my Wigs telling me about the deal. I had lots of fun reading this book so I intend to have a good time with the review as well. I think the last tale is the work of fiction, but still it left some doubts. To sum up I think the author did a great job in presenting Loki as individuality and it was interesting to read about Loki’s progress and struggle to develop as a skilled prankster and the book ended unexpectedly with the biggest trick of Loki’s life. I liked Loki as a character and his sly and devious personality, though some of his tricks and pranks were too vulgar and perverted so I wouldn’t recommend this book for children under 13. “ Loki: Nine Naughty Tales of the Trickster” is way more different and far more specific and nasty. I think that any person, who has some interest in Norse gods or mythology, can find something interesting and even appealing in this book as the author tried not to wander far from the myth and (I can say it about myself for sure) I got most of my information about the Norse gods and myths from the movies (which are quite decent and romantic) and some reading during school years (which was simpler and slighter in plot). But if you hope to see the awesome and sexy Thor (Chris Hemsworth of course), I can assure you - there is no, not even a bit. ![]() I did enjoy the never-ending fight between two brothers. Did I like him? Yes! Did I enjoy reading about his adventures? Erm…the biggest part (the scheming, pranks and tricks were interesting and some even funny, but there were ones which I can describe as disgusting and pew). I can say for sure that I found a badass, naughty, evil, awful, disgusting, terrible, sly and really bad character-god in this short book. Almost everybody in my friends’ circle know that I have a hook for rough-tough, badass heroes/heroines. ![]()
