Reading Notes: Norse Mythology (Part 5)
For part five of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, I read chapters 12 & 13: The Apples of Immortality and The Story of Gerd and Frey.
In the story about Thor's journey to the giants, Gaiman ended it with Thor thinking about how even he couldn't defeat old age. In the next story, The Apples of Immortality, we hear a story of when Loki led Idunn, the keeper of the Apples of Immortality, to her kidnapping. When she is taken, the gods no longer have their immortality and began to age. This story is really interesting and I really want to work with it for a story this week. I also really like how Gaiman has all the stories leading into each other so the book reads like a novel and less like a collection of random tales.
