Norse Gods

About This Novel
Norse mythology is the important origin of all fantasy culture! Neil Gaiman, the master of fantasy literature and author of "American Gods", retells the glorious and magnificent Norse mythology! Ragnarok has arrived, and the ancient gods are about to awaken. Where does Thor's hammer come from? Why did Odin, the father of the gods, lose an eye? What is the identity of Loki, who is both good and evil? In the two thousand years since its birth, it has gone through many interpretations, and the origin of Nordic mythology has become increasingly blurred. Now, Neil Gaiman, the master of fantasy literature, has clarified the context of Nordic mythology and reproduced this glorious and magnificent mythological system in a brand-new way. From the World Tree to the Nine Worlds, from the birth of everything to the Twilight of the Gods, from the golden apples of youth to the giant wolf Fenir... In Gaiman's writing, the story is reborn and the gods are resurrected one by one.

What mankind believes in and despises is itself. This is a vicious circle that cannot be escaped. The destiny of mankind cannot escape the twilight of the gods. Perhaps this is the only thing worth gratifying.
Interested in this book.
Loki can also give birth to horses, and they are eight-legged. What an awesome feeling
Well written. Come on
I've always wanted to learn about Norse mythology, and now I've got my wish.
Gained knowledge
After reading this book, I immediately understood the relationship between characters in many works from Japan, Europe and the United States. This will help me read various stories and novels in the future, and I also learned knowledge. The stories are also very interesting.
It would be too arrogant to say that "Norse mythology is the important origin of all fantasy culture"! And our mythology is not bad either! It even appeared earlier than them!

Twilight of the Gods is really poignant

The writing is quite interesting, and it adds its own understanding to the history of Nordic mythology, which can give people a general understanding of Nordic mythology.
I have always known little about Norse mythology, but after reading Marvel, my interest has become even greater. After reading this book this time, I have a deeper understanding of the overall structure and characters. The characters in the book are different from those in the movie, but they are richer and more three-dimensional. I have always liked Loki. Although he is full of tricks, he always cleans up the mess. The Aesir are not perfect. In comparison, they are not as good as ordinary people. To put it bluntly, they are just stupid and reckless and kill without conscience. Alas, this is probably what mythology is.

Still good, just a bit expensive
Ahem, personal preference. He is one of my favorite living writers, and I would like to recommend his "A Study of Green Letters" by the way. Amway buys a physical book. Physical books are more affordable than buying them at the starting point (.
