Thor's hammer symbol
I enjoyed this retelling of the Norse Myths. The tales were easy to read, and I got a picture of what these gods were actually like. Thor, strong, but not very bright. Odin, wise and thoughtful. Loki, mischievous, clever, sneaky and enjoying chaos.
I would have liked to learn more about Freya and Frey, her brother, as well as Frigg, who was portrayed as Odin's wife, although, I understand that some authorities think she and Freya are one and the same since their stories are similar.
There was little about them or any of the other female gods. nevertheless, it was an enjoyable read, and I would say it's an introduction to the Norse Myths rather than a definitive book.
