Joanne m harris runemarks series5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Loki, strapped to a rock with Jormungand spitting poison on him, is naturally looking for a way out of the situation. This book kicks in after Ragnorok, after Asgard has fallen, and the gods have found themselves trapped in the godly equivalent of hell. A rudimentary understanding of Norse mythology helped a little, from my youthful mythological-focused reading habits, but even without that I think the relevant information is there that you could enjoy the story. Whilst this is the sixth in the series, I did not feel like I needed to have read the former volumes to be able to pick this up and enjoy it. I had ogled others in this series whilst I had been there over the summer – the stained-glass cover designs are stunning. So when I swung by to visit and there were proof copies of Testament of Loki, I naturally didn’t refuse the offer to take one with me. It was a very atmospheric, very pretty book, but sadly my internship ended before I got a chance to finish reading it. The first writing I got to read from Joanne Harris was A Pocket Full of Crows, which I was lucky enough to get a chance to check the page proofs for whilst I was interning at Gollancz. ![]()
