3.5 stars. It took me ages to read this on my iPad/phone, usually when I had no other book to read. Most of it was brilliant but there were a few unexciting bits. I will read more of Caitlin's work in the future, because she has such a fantastic outlook on life.

Review of 'Norse Mythology' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Was keen to read this and see what the fuss was. Unfortunately the writing style and subject matter are just not for me. I would probably have pressed on and read it all eventually, as I hate to leave books unfinished, but I had other more interesting books to distract me and now it's due back at the library (and very highly requested). Don't think I'll be coming back to this one in the future.
