Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, 5/5

I am not a fan of Neil Gaiman’s work in general, but there is no denying the excellence of this retelling of tales from Norse mythology. The tone is fresh, without too much anachronism; sensitive and poetic, not melodramatic; and witty without flippancy.

Why I read it: my husband enjoyed the audiobook and I liked the bit that I overheard, so he bought a hard copy.
