This book is for fans of Gaiman's work, those interested in Norse stories, or fans of fantasy and mythology. Whichever one of these camps you may fall into, this is written in Gaiman's fashion and style, an apt remaking of the a narrative retelling arc of the stories in the Prosaic and Poetic Eddas, themselves stories that at a point in time were originally transmitted in oral tradition until Snorri documented them. This modernization of Gaiman's has been acclaimed as fresh, while keeping the original minty flavor: The author of American Gods takes on the Norse.
