START READING with this Point One Issue! Young Loki is at a severe disadvantage: everyone in Asgard remembers him from his previous life—but they're all strangers to him, and they fully intend to keep it that way. Desperate, Loki conjures up a mystical means of eavesdropping on their private thoughts; and what he learns doesn't make him happy. Even worse, the lesson itself may just cost him his life! A perfect jumping-on point, showcasing Loki's relationships with Asgard's movers and shakers, and setting the stage for the choices he makes in the months to come.
Ultimately, I liked Robert Rodi's story, but as a book to entice new readers, they are missing out on the true joy of Loki. What a lot of people will really get to see, if they do pick this up for the first time, is a strong entry by Ferry. Read Full Review
