I love a Loki who is not the evil trickster but a misunderstood prankster. Which is why I love the Marvel Loki. I sadly do not have cable or streaming so I haven't seen the show Loki. I will probably one day get the DVDs of the show. Until then I just have to dream.

This book is golden. Loki is on midgard(Earth) using slight of hand tricks and props as a magician to make his living here as "real" magic is scant here when two 'elves' come calling. And not for good reasons. This starts him on a journey through the Realms to discover why someone wants him dead that bad. Everything leads to an epic battle reminiscent of Ragnarok but ends in a stalemate(Spoiler). And Loki returns to midgard. 

There is a second book out now. It's on my TBR list. I like this Loki and want to see more of him.

I'm a fan of Anne Perry's Thomas and Charlotte Pitt stories. I've read quite a few and they're on my TBR list when I get them/time to read. So when I saw this I was interested, though I don't read bios usually. 

I would have given it a 4 but it really didn't go into her life after prison. It gave a good accounting of her life just before, during, and after the murder, however I wanted more. If you want an overview of this time of her life this is a good book to read.

I found another book about her that I have put on my TBR list that seems to cover more of her life after prison. I will of course add it here after I have read it.
