Reader comments
It's pretty good. Seven of the nine worlds are explained in detail. I prefer Nordic mythology to Greek mythology, maybe it's the filter of novels. There are many novels that use Nordic mythology as the world framework. "Odin's Blessing" written by Gentleman Yize is very romantic, and "Dragon" draws on the structure of Nordic mythology, as well as the "Nibelungenlied" and the Bible.
This book gave me a deeper understanding of Nordic mythology, and also reminded me of those friends around me who bravely pursue love. Just as the Nordics admire strength and courage, they also bravely pursue their own happiness in relationships. Moreover, the mythical stories in the book also made me understand that love is like an adventure, which requires us to have the courage to explore and try. Overall, this is not only a good book to understand Nordic mythology, but also can bring us enlightenment about love and life.
