Norse Mythology: A Timeless Collection of Norse Myths and Legends, my second read from author Adrian Danvers. Perhaps not for everyone but as a history major I found it to be a well-written, enjoyable, 152-page read on the wonders of Nirse mythology that often reads like a text book. “I received a Kindle copy of this book back in recently and am just getting around to reading it after getting 3 other books by this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Sophomoric

Provides a good enough cast of the characters and a cursory summation of the primary legends, but suffers from redundancy and unnecessary repetition

[Noel Charchuk · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick overview of Norse myths and gods. I enjoyed reading this one, my 3rd of Danver’s series. I have read his 20 Creation myths and Greek mythology. I plan to get his books on Mayan and Aztec next.

[Gatha J · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very accessible book about Norse Mythology. Danvers has a lucid prose. It is a special skill to write so articulately the wide range of subtexts any culture's mythology brings up. Enjoyed it, and it will become my go-to reference for a quick look up about Norse Mythology.
