Norse Mythology

Short Review: I love Gaiman and I would read pretty much anything he writes, although I am not particularly a fan of short story collections. This reads like a short story collection because it is collection of various myths. But I was interested in part because there are so many places where I could see parts of Gaiman's other books shining through. And I also enjoy Rick Riordan's books and his Magnus Chase series is based on Norse mythology. Between Riordan and Gaiman's other books at least a third of the stories here I was vaguely familiar with.

But this is also an introduction. If you are pretty familiar with Norse mythology, then you are probably going to be bored with this because Gaiman is doing a pretty straight retelling.

Gaiman is also an excellent narrator. So I tend to listen to any of his books if he is the one narrating.
