ReviewsIf everything you know about Loki begins and ends with the actor Tom Hiddleston, this book is for you. The way Harris writes him, you can't help but like him, even as he confesses to the most absurd and/or horrific deeds; well, you like him, but you wouldn't really want to be acquainted with him--being his enemy or his friend seems equally dicey. One has to admire the author for imposing her own take on the character., If everything you know about Loki begins and ends with the actor Tom Hiddleston, this book is for you.

One has to admire the author for imposing her own take on the character., The Gospel of Loki is a charming novel, told with snark, wit and familiarity. Harris's voice of Loki is an addictive thing, a pleasure to consume. While some may be most familiar with the Norse gods from the Marvel films, Harris draws the characters magnificently from their original inspirations and makes them her own.
