(Series note: I can't find a canonical list of these anywhere, so I'm just numbering them for my own reference as I encounter them.)

I continue to be impressed by these books, which are honestly much better than franchise tie-ins have a right to be. Loki is presented here as the Asgardian equivalent of a young adult, with the maturity of the average human 23 year old, during a time which overlaps with Victorian London on Earth. The dialogue is witty, the supporting characters are great, the external conflicts and internal turmoil are convincing, and the central question can perhaps be boiled down to: if everyone expects you to be a villain, are you better off embracing the role and giving up the struggle to be seen as a hero?
