Finally getting into new actual plot. It’s a nice recap though, this book makes me insane

A shortened version of the Grimnismal, a big poem with everyone and everything in, where Grimnir recounting it is actually Odin tricking king Geirrod, a tyrant king, into killing himself and passing the crown to his son Ahmad named after the brother he tried to kill. Headache worthy. And Freyr’s obsession with giantess Gerd, the embodiment of winter fields melting in spring

Hopefully speedy reread so I can read golden raven without losing my mind, but now I just want to reread the first three I love them all so much, Jeremy is just the best

So interesting and very heavy and slow to read. Mjollnir was crafted by dwarf brothers Brokk and Eitri who were tricked by Loki. Idun and her apples are what keep the gods young but there is only one myth about her.

Now I remember why I love this book and forgave Achilles, he is punished for it

I’m shocked I never really fully clocked how many conflicts across fiction and history are all caused by fragile men desperate to fix their tiny egos. I can’t believe I wasn’t appalled by Achilles the first time I read this book, surely I was, that his damaged ego could cause so much death.

I love this book but fuck me is the war section hard to read, I simply do not care about how long it takes you by boat to get to Troy

I’m glad the miscommunication is being kept to a minimum, proud of yall

These guys are the best. Shame I read The Long Game first cos I have already seen all of Ilya’s reactions and still can’t remember what he’s secretly doing 😐

Getting more and more upset with their Harris casting choice, let my boy be unathletic and chubby!!

Thank you Kyleeeee

MARTINA!!!!

Should not have started a horror book staying in a new room with no lamp

Ryan Price is The Guy ever. 20 pages in and he’s my spirit animal and I wanna wrap him in a blanket or perhaps some bubble wrap I LOVE HIM

Old me should’ve gotten over herself, I gotta give books a chance clearly

Boring compared to the others 😒

Younger me needed some whimsy in her life, who cares if a book is popular and maybe a little cringe this shit SLAPS
