This was a refreshingly nice take on things, from the point of view of Loki himself. They say history is written by the victors. Stands to reason that mythology is the same :) This gives a whole new perspective to Brother Wildfire. While the story shifts the order of some of the myths and leaves out others altogether, overall this is a wonderful bit of work and well worth the reading!

Okay, yes, you’re right. It’s time I told you more about how I came to be strapped down with a serpent leaking venom on my face. I didn’t want to tell you before, because not only did it mean telling a rather long story, but it means revisiting the deception, anger, and pain of those years. Still, you’re right; you’ve helped me all these years without truly understanding my situation-catching the venom in that bowl, never leaving my side. So, I’ll tell you thoroughly and from the very beginning. I owe you at least that much. I’ll start with…Yes. I would have to start with Odin. ~ from Loki: Why I Began At The End.

This tale centers on the Nordic gods and is told through Loki’s eyes. Loki tells how he first meets the god Odin hanging upside down inside the trunk of a tree. Odin first tricks the trickster by befriending Loki and taking him across the rainbow bridge, to Asland. Why has such a powerful god befriended Loki? After all, Loki is a half giant from Jotunheim. The Jotuns and Aesir are enemies.

Loki: Why I Began At The End is a hard to put down story that leaves you thinking, “Just one more chapter. Just one more.”

While Loki is living in Asland, we are introduced to the rest of the Norse deities.

Loki feels so honored to be a friend to the god, that he is completely taken in. In time, Odin asks to meet his children. So, he takes Odin to Johentheim where he is forced to watch his trusted friend condemn two of his monster-children to live in the far reaches of the earth. Ferrir, Loki’s third son gets the worst deal of all when Odin asks Loki to bring him back to Asland. There, Ferrir is tricked and is doomed to spend the rest of his days chained in a dungeon in Asland. Since Loki now lives in Asland with the Aesir, he watches his son suffer day, by day.

Loki: Why I Began At The End is available in ebook form both on Kindle and on Nook. You can purchase this interesting story in Kindle format at: http://www.amazon.com (US) and http://www.amazon.co.uk (UK). You can also purchase this fine ebook in Nook format at: http://www.barnesandnoble.com.
