This book is told from the perspective of a witch-woman who is abused by the patriarchy generally and by her terrible husband specifically. Regular listeners know that we are a magic mom-skeptical podcast but this one pulls it off.

C’est juste que… je te connais depuis si longtemps, pourtant j’ai l’impression que c’était hier. Le reste de notre temps ensemble va-t-il s’écouler aussi vite ? Va-t-on changer maintes fois, comme nous l’avons déjà fait, ou resterons-nous coincés dans cet état, parce que c’est ainsi que l’on se souviendra de nous ?

PORTRAIT WEEK

I really-really love north mythology and one of the most compelling character for me is Hel (due to Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec), ruler of Nilfheim and daughter of Loki.

"The ending doesn't matter. What matters is how we get there. To face what's ahead with as much dignity as we can muster and make the most of the time we have left."

What Norse myth books have you read already? I need new recs x

I don't think any of these are particularly new. Trying to make a list of all I've read. And granted, my attention span has gotten worse over the years.

The first book featuring the norse pantheon in any form I read was Neil Gaiman's "American Gods".

There's Diana Wynne Jones' "Eight Days of Luke" which served as inspiration for "American Gods", according to Neil Gaiman. Children's book.

There's also "Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman and his "Norse Mythology" retelling. Children's book.

I LOVED Louie Stowell's Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, if you have children or trouble getting through books, get this! It's hilarious and smart. I enjoyed it as an adult. Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Norse mythology.

I enjoyed the first two books by Joanne Harris as a teen, "Runemarks" and "Runelight." The first two (esp. the first) are fun and I love the Bart Simpson-esque portrayal of Loki. Unfortunately, the quality of later books focusing on Loki is terrible.

I unfortunately read Joanne Harris' "The Testament of Loki", first chapter is interesting, but he's unwillingly sharing a body with an annoying teen girl, and the way Harris deals with eating disorders is really bad. It's awful. Don't recommend.

I think Lyra Wolf's The Nine Worlds rising series are an easy read. I think she has a great comedic voice and the books are worth reading just for that, and I like the toxic Odin/Loki relationship. I do have complaints about them, such as the anachronistic language (e.g. Loki knowing what a Chihuahua is), and that Sigyn doesn't have flaws other than caring too much for her no-good brother. She also has the women are either saints or evil witches dichotomy going on in terms of portrayals of goddesses. I think the stakes are good in these books so that you keep reading them.

I enjoyed Cat Rector's "The Goddess of Nothing at All" A LOT. While it doesn't have my ideal morally gray portrayal of Sigyn yet, it did make Sigyn more complex than others have. I also like this book mainly because I am a sadist and I love whump and there's a lot of suffering on it. It's so sad you won't be laughing at the myth!Loki memes. I would avoid this book if you don't like whump. I do have criticisms about it, such as her Loki was a bit too nice for my taste and could have been worse (making him justified for cutting Sif's hair feels forced; he can still be a loveable and tragic asshole, you know?). But my tragedy-loving self loves this!

I was looking forward to Genevieve Gornichec's "The Witch's Heart", it has a cute start of Loki giving Angrboda her burnt heart, but she criminally made Angrboda and Loki boring as fuck. Angrboda conveniently doesn't remember anything and just fumbles her way inside a cave for a large portion of the book. And she is the POV we're following. WE ARE STUCK IN A CAVE SHE WON'T LEAVE. Loki's portrayal in this is one of the most cisheteronormative I've seen yet, and it's surprising the author managed this in a story where Loki is impregnated by a horse and wears a dress (he impatiently yanks off because he felt emasculated). The author thinks having a lean build and no beard=queer. Loki only shows interest in women and feels emasculated while wearing a dress. I also happen to hate Skadi and her weird castration fetish in this book. Bitch wouldn't shut up about it. The good thing about this book is that there's no anachronisms, and I liked Hel's portrayal.

So confession, I had Kindle Unlimited trial briefly, and I read a bunch of Loki books, such as Lyra Wolf's.

I think(?) I read A.B. Frost's "Father of Monsters". It was quite short, but has nice illustrations, and Loki's endearing, even if a little shit. That both takes one for the team and also endangers the team.

I read (partially) some book about Loki escaping his punishment early and rejoining the Aesir, but it was criminally boring (it never described how Loki got out of situations and the prose was incredibly VAGUE) and seemed geared towards Norse pagans(Which I AM NOT). Had a spiritual conflict-avoiding vibe. It was called "Loki" but forgot the author's name and I accessed for free by Kindle Unlimited. I also didn't like that it referred to cops as "Tyr's warriors". FUCK COPS.

I have not finished reading Mike Vasich's "Loki". I think the man thinks MCU Loki is accurate to Norse mythology, because that's the only Loki I could picture (and he was adopted by Odin). And man spent way too long describing sensing "power levels" that I ended up getting bored and stopped reading. I've also seen some amusing excerpt from another of his books I have not read. But, if you're an author, don't spend a lot of time describing power levels, FFS! You'll bore the fuck out of your readers.

"...And within minutes he was asleep, leaving her awake to listen to his snoring. Leaving her to feel an odd fluttering in her chest, an unwelcome stirring inside her, like something was awakening that would be better off asleep, better off in the farthest recesses of her mind, where it couldn't bother her."

Page Turner: Walk Among Us

Since I sunk my teeth into Vampire: the Masquerade’s World of Darkness, I may or may not have gained a newfound love for vampires. Playing as one of these undead horrors brought them into a new light for me. The politics of this hidden world is fascinating, and I have only scratched the surface. From infighting in the clans to the three-way battle between the Sabbat, Anarchs and the Camarilla,…

"We're both fools," Angroboda's heart swelled in her chest. "Things could have been so different..." "Things can still be different," Skadi said fiercely, leaning in close, squeezing her hands. "But the ending remains the same," Angrboda whispered back.  "The ending doesn't matter. What matters is how we get there. TP face what's ahead with as much dignity as we can muster and make the most of the time we have left." And with that, Skadi reached up and took Angrboda's face in her hands and kissed her with ages' worth of longing. And Angroboda put her hands on the other woman's shoulders and returned the kiss. "Grant a dead woman's last wish," Skadi whispered when they finally pulled apart, placing a trembling hand on either side of the witch's face, "and let me share your bed, truly share it, this night and every night until the end." And Angrboda did.
