[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off thanks to L Dean Lee and Red Wheeler/Weiser for sending me this copy! If you’re into Norse mythology at all this book is a solid 5/5. It’s easy to read, doesn’t go too deep into things and the artwork really brings everything to life. It’s a great intro to who Thor is and even talks about what it’s like to work with him. Definitely a good addition to my library.
