3 out of 5 stars
This was a
collection of Scandinavian folktales and poems. First, I want to say that
I loved the idea of this book! I think anthologies are a great way to learn
about new authors and I thought this was an amazing idea!
I love folklore,
fairy tales and mythology so this sold me right away. It was a collection of
poems and stories.
There were some
beautiful poems in here but sadly the stories just didn't hold my interest as
much as I would have liked them.
Sadly, there were actually very few parts of this series that I really enjoyed.
I'm not sure what it
was the storytelling, maybe the stories themselves but something just left me... underwhelmed.
Nonetheless I loved the idea of this book and just because of that, because I love seeing mythology worked with, I'd pick up the next copy and I suggest everyone pick up a copy of this, there might be at least one thing that catches your eye!
