Testament of Loki
Testament of Loki | Joanne M Harris
11 posts | 13 read | 12 to read
In the sequel to The Gospel of Loki, Loki's adventures continue when he finds a way out of the end of the world and plans to restart the power of the Norse gods. The end of the world--also known as Ragnarok to the Norse gods--has occurred, and Loki has been trapped in a seemingly endless purgatory, in torture, until he finds a way to escape. It seems that he still exists in the minds of humanity and uses that as a way to our time. Back in the ninth world (Earth), Loki finds himself sharing the mind of a teenage girl named Jumps, who is a bit of a mess. She's also not happy about Loki sneaking his way into her mind, since she was originally calling on Thor. Worse, her friends have also been co-opted by the gods: Odin, Jump's one-eyed best friend in a wheelchair, and Freya, the pretty one. Thor escapes the netherworld as well and shares the mind of a dog, and he finds that it suits him. Odin has a plan to bring back the Norse gods ascendancy, but Loki has his own ideas on how things can go--and nothing goes according to plan.

First book was way better, this one was too modernized for my taste.

Not so much based on Norse stories like the first book, this is more like 'fanfiction' from the author about the Gods coming to Earth to recreate Asgard after Ragnarok. Deals with some dark topics but also comedic at times like the first read in the series.

I really liked this as a quick read! I thought it was nice to see the second stage in the life of Loki with emotions. It did feel like an in between book, as if we're just passing through on our way to a bigger plot, but I didn't mind that. I only wish the earthling side characters were a little more developed, but that's about it. Joanne M. Harris just writes nicely flowing books!

The setting was not expected. I had no idea, and I am still not a fan of the setting. But somehow, it worked. This was, despite my fears, by far the best of the Loki books I have read by her.
She did cut down the 'yours truly' phrases a lot since The Gospel of Loki. It's so much better this way!!

jmofo I‘m glad she backed off of that. It was a bit much. I was hoping Loki would have more than two notes (I‘m charmingly the best and infallible or poor Loki)... does he get more interesting in this one? 6y
DuckOfDoom @jmofo He does, there is definitely a more interesting Loki in this book 😁 6y

A fun, funny & clever re-imagining of the characters of Norse Mythology. Loki is in the body of a 17 year old girl and his exploits & adventures are irreverent & irresistible. While on the surface the premise seems a tad ludicrous, it works really well, largely thanks to the lively & engaging writing style. While the Trickster is a bold, brash and outrageous character, it is Jumps, his host, that I particularly loved ... more below⬇️⬇️⬇️

readingjedi I really enjoyed her development and felt sad her story ended so suddenly - I need to know what became of her once Loki vacated her body. 6y

1. Given the book I'm currently reading I'd have to go with Loki. That said, he strikes me as the type who's a lot of fun at parties but excruciating the rest of the time.
2. Thomas Hardy, Philip Pullman, Fredrik Backman
3. I would really love to go to so many far flung & exotic places but the azure waters & sugar cubes houses of the Greek Islands are literally what I dream of.
4. One fat one.
5. Heyyyyy! 😎

alisonrose “Sugar cube houses” — such a perfect description! 6y

This is the sequel to The Gospel of Loki although it could be read as a stand-alone book if you know enough of Norse mythology. Asgard is destroyed during Ragnarök and Loki finds himself in a new, modern world. The trickster god must find his footing in the new world while making new friends and finding some old ones. This book read more like YA than the first one, but I liked that quality and really enjoyed this story. #arc #netgalley
