About this ebook
An instant New York Times best seller! *"This deft, nuanced examination of identity, destiny, and agency is a surprisingly tender addition to the Marvel canon."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review *"This mischievous origin story is sure to satisfy fans of this popular character."—Booklist, starred review Selected for the ILA-CBC 2020 Young Adults’ Choices reading list. This is the first of three young adult novels from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee that explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Before the days of going toe-to-toe with the Avengers, a younger Loki is desperate to prove himself heroic and capable, while it seems everyone around him suspects him of inevitable villainy and depravity . . . except for Amora. Asgard's resident sorceress-in-training feels like a kindred spirit—someone who values magic and knowledge, who might even see the best in him. But when Loki and Amora cause the destruction of one of Asgard's most prized possessions, Amora is banished to Earth, where her powers will slowly and excruciatingly fade to nothing. Without the only person who ever looked at his magic as a gift instead of a threat, Loki slips further into anguish and the shadow of his universally adored brother, Thor. When Asgardian magic is detected in relation to a string of mysterious murders on Earth, Odin sends Loki to investigate. As he descends upon nineteenth-century London, Loki embarks on a journey that leads him to more than just a murder suspect, putting him on a path to discover the source of his power—and who he's meant to be.

A great book that tells a compelling story throughout. While this might be the MCU Loki were used to, it can bring in elements of the MCU version and the comic version throughout. The ending left me wanting more and made me feel Loki's despair and thoughts.

I love this book. The characters are compelling, and while Loki might be a god, his struggles feel so real. I'm being honest when I say that I was really feeling the story, jumping up and shouting at nothing through every plot twist. Not to mention Loki's sarcastic humor throughout the book. One doesn't need much knowledge of the MCU to enjoy this book, and I would absolutely recommend it.

OH MY GODS THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST BOK EVER-and that's saying a LOT for me. I am seriously addicted to many series of books,but none of them made quite the impression on me. I LOVE LOKI. I always have, and have thought he was always made the villain. but there was a reason for his actions. a pain and judgement. He's like me. now, this will probably go on forever if I don't stop now. but one more thing. it's a little non-age appropriate...but, I have a feeling it wasn't meant for my age.i get the feeling everyone else writing reviews are adults. But I'm only eleven, after all.
