Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Sara on September 16, 2021

Apesar de ter gostado mais do primeiro livro, este livro continua sendo uma narrativa leve e engraçada dos mitos nórdicos. Não deve-se esperar uma narração complexa, afinal trata-se de uma obra juvenil. Também não me incomodou as inseguranças de Jumps ou dos outros hospedeiros. Muito original a par......more

Why not just keep it simple? There were enough pleasures in this world to fill every hour of a human's life.
