The Gospel of Loki
Description The novel is a brilliant first-person narrative of the rise and fall of the Norse gods - retold from the point of view of the world's ultimate trickster, Loki. It tells the story of Loki's recruitment from the underworld of Chaos, his many exploits on behalf of his one-eyed master, Odin, through to his eventual betrayal of the gods and the fall of Asgard itself. Using her life-long passion for the Norse myths, Joanne Harris has created a vibrant and powerful fantasy novel.

Other books in this series. The Gospel of Loki Joanne M. The Testament of Loki Joanne M. Review quote Joanne writes this story with panache and skill, infusing it with humour and wry smile throughout. I speculate that Joanne Harris's regular readership will enjoy the book too. Harris skillfully weaves the stereotypical evil Loki into a self-aware but misunderstood antihero And there's undoubtedly more to come.

Fun, witty and wholly entertaining, this is a neat retelling of classic legends which maintains their ancient roots without diminishing them in any way through the use of a modern filter — Matt Adams, Herts Advertiser. It could have been a stuffy book about the myths and legends of Scandinavia, but with a brilliantly clever twist of Loki as the narrator, and his wonderful sense of wit, it both teaches and entertains — Rinn Reads.
Harris narrative is witty and nicely-paced
