I will be recommending this book and audiobook whole-heartedly to my pupils. It is a total riot from start to finish. I really enjoyed the plot and watching Loki flounder when having to dig deep and find empathy. All it took was an existential crisis!
Louie Stowell’s trademark sense of humour (with many layers of laughs) had me in stitches throughout. That said, there is so much to be learned about Norse mythology through the books and I’m sure many of us benefit from learning through narratives.
The voice acting, by Ben Willpond, exquisitely captured the mischief and mayhem of the narrative and the sound effects enhanced many a moment even further.
Great stuff.
Thanks Net Galley, WF Howes LTD and Louie Stowell for a chance to listen in return for my opinions.
Not only are these books wonderfully entertaining but the audiobooks themselves are an entertaining work of art that warrants both the buying of the physical books AND the book in an audio format.
Ben Willbond is not just an amazing actor but narrates these books expertly. He brings the fun, entertainment and humour that makes these books the masterpieces they are. Also, I always love an audiobook that incorporates sound effects so it wins extra points for that too.
Loki is a character we’ve all come to know. He’s a god of mischief, overshadowed by his strong and more famous older brother and the son of an all seeing father of a god that never seems to give him a break! And all recorded nearly in this one little book that lays out all of his dastardly darings. And he’s not short of an enemy or two…
It’s a solid recommend for the shelves of all young readers (and older ones. They can’t fail to raise a smile and I dare you not to enjoy this book too). Definitely don’t pass these books by.
I swear I'll consume anything Loki related, even though I know very well I am not the target audience.
This was so much fun and perfectly narrated by Ben Willbond. The snark and arrogance just poured through and I loved every sentence.
Thank you to Netgalley and W.F Howes for the ALC
