The Apples of Idunn

Disclaimer: I sort of fell smack-dab in the middle of the “Gods of the Ragnarok Era” series, reading book #5 (The Well of Mimir) first. From there I finished the series, putting the cart pretty much before the eight-legged horse - and now I'm starting over with book #1 to see how Ragnarok came to be.

With this sort of perspective, it's fascinating to see how the characters started out. And, oh boy, everyone is still so... young. And to think that Odin, the Allfather, was once just an arrogant little prick (sorry!) before he became the immortal king of the Aesir...

So, for me, this second edition is the perfect start for the series, introducing the main players and giving me more background on the hows and whys of the later books.

Looking forward to reading the whole epic story!
