A.S. Byatt's nearly straight retelling of Ragnarok, with a light framing around a girl growing up in WW II England and learning the stories for the first time through the book Asgard and the Gods. The frame works well, illuminating the myth itself which is told in beautiful but somewhat elliptical language. The first time I started this book I put it down in a certain amount of confusion, this time I was more familiar with the underlying Norse myths so found it much easier to enjoy the language and images without struggling to follow the storyline as well.
