>Neil (((Gaiman's))) family is of Polish-Jewish and other Eastern European-Jewish origins;[10] his great-grandfather emigrated from Antwerp, Belgium, to the UK before 1914[11] and his grandfather eventually settled in the south of England in the Hampshire city of Portsmouth and established a chain of grocery stores. His father, David Bernard (((Gaiman))), worked in the same chain of stores;[12] his mother, Sheila Gaiman (née Goldman), was a pharmacist.

I was curious about it, OP. How is it so far? (I genuinely like Neil Gaiman btw)

Read the translations of the poetic and prose edda instead, you're wasting your time.

More important question is how obnoxiously fat and unwieldy can a hammer get?

yeah it pretty much written that way with easy narration text

but it has some funny hints to more sexual jokes for adults like the story where Thor wears a dress

also throughout the book characters get drunk

but he definitely knows his myths and it seems like Gaiman really likes Loki as a character

do you have a recommendation for a more mature level retelling of the Norse myths?

Kill people

It's shit even for children. Crossley-Holland is GOAT.

dubs

but which version of the Edda's did you read? Larrington's?

pick up H. R. Ellis Davidson's Gods and Myths of Northern Europe, it's a must read.

truth

Burn shit.

every time I try to read Gaiman it is just boring as fuck. I don't even think he is a bad writer, just bland, lifeless, and undeniably pandering to cash in on normies
