Reply to comment by Zeshui0 in Recommendations for accurate books on Norse mythology? by ThunderThighsMegee

I saw it but I presumed it was more of a modern retelling than holding true to the source material given his other books, would you say it’s worth the read?

I enjoyed it, and it wasn't an original story with a Norse setting. It was more like a simplified novel that showcases events from the mythology in an abridged, broad format.

There are definitely more detailed versions of the Saga's out there but it was pretty faithful as a beginner's introduction to them imo.
