Mark This Book Monday: ARC Review of Thor: The Viking God of Thunder by Graeme Davies!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday and Merry Xmas and Happy almost New Year! I will be making a post about my New Year resolutions & wishing you lot a very Happy New 2014!

For the first review of this Mark This Book Monday I'm having another ARC from NetGalley for review!


Thor: The Viking God of ThunderThor: The Viking God of Thunder by Graeme Davis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I got the chance to review this book after being approved for it on NetGalley and it seemed like the Universe's answer to my wish to read more about Norse mythology.

This is a short enough book on 80 pages, but with enough content to explain to us the origins of the myths and when they were collected and by whom. We get some of the original texts translated and we also get others narrated in a more conventional modern speech.

A quick and very informative read, exactly what I needed and I know I will be looking for other books in the same series to brush up on my mythology knowledge! 4 stars!

  4. I really liked this one as well! And if you are looking for more Norse mythology reads, I highly recommend Loki's Wolves by K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr!! It's a middle grade novel, but I really loved it!
