Review Detail

Everybody's favorite Norse god is back. Forced to live on Earth by his father, Loki spends his days as an eleven year old boy with too much time on his hands. When Thor's hammer is stolen, of course Loki is the one who is blamed. He is the trouble-maker after all, but he didn't do it. Not this time at least. Now, Loki must do what he can and take on the trials ahead of him to prove his innocence. But it isn't about being innocent. No, he just likes to be the person who is right and wants to rub it in Thor's nose. To do so, his path leads him to new students who are threatening to take his place.

LOKI: A BAD GOD'S GUIDE TO TAKING THE BLAME is packed humor, cute doodles, and Norse Mythology. It's honestly the first book I've read in this series but I don't feel like I missed anything. The format is a mix between a middle grade novel and a graphic novel. The doodle-like cartoons bring even more laughs to the story. This book is the perfect look into Loki's mind and how we can all imagine him to think. His comments just make the story and I couldn't get enough. There are hints of mythology splashed throughout the plot to keep things interesting. I love watching as he interacts with humans while he thinks they're beneath him. Even though I haven't read the first one, I can see Loki grow the more he's around humans and how it's helping him learn right from wrong, even though he's so good at being bad.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged 9 and up who enjoy fantasy, magic, humor, and Norse Mythology. Since it reads like a diary, it's an easy read will bring a laugh to children who dare to open it up. Like it's crazy how much humor is packed into this one book and I love every second of it.
