Centuries ago, myths painted Loki as bisexual, gender-fluid, a trickster capable of both good and evil. But human tales twisted the truth, omitting crucial details. For ages, Loki indulged in trickery, travel, and fleeting romances, consequences be damned. His wife left him, so why change? Human liv...

I love how Loki feels so real in this world! You can never have too much Loki, right? His tricks and shapeshifting abilities are seriously cool in "Loki's Bargain" by Julie Mannino. Definitely a fun read if you're looking for a great fantasy book review!

A fresh and intriguing take on Loki, Odin, and Asgard.
Julie Mannino's *Loki's Bargain* plunges the trickster god Loki into the European Middle Ages. Here, he deceives some, delights others, and generally does as he pleases. However, ignoring Theodora's forewarnings, he falls for Eira, an act with profound repercussions since she returns his affections. This single choice dramatically alters the fate of Elfric, an ordinary man living in that time.
This brings us to Ned, his unique powers, and ...

I read Thrall first, which you can enjoy even if you haven't read this one, but Loki's Bargain tells the story of how Ned came to be. Loki was absolutely perfect in this book, and I was completely hooked. I didn't want it to end! A fantastic read for anyone looking for a captivating fantasy book review.

Loki is ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ absolutely delicious!Finally, we get the great trickster's story, and he's not just a deity causing mayhem, but also sizzlingly sexy. Don't get me wrong; he's still a ruthless being, but sometimes he shows his softer side... as well as his fallible side.This novella doesn't pull any punches, making sure the reader doesn't get distracted by lowly things like feeling sleepy. Julie Mannino's *Loki's Bargain* is a must-read for anyone looking for a steamy and exciting Norse mytho...

I'm Team Loki all the way! I was blown away by how well the mythological version of Loki was handled and woven into the fantasy world established in the other books. Loki was hilarious to read about, and the descriptive language used for his pranks and actions was fantastic. He transforms into so many things, including a cat, mouse, otter, and even a woman. And just like the mythological version, he's bisexual.
No spoilers, but I honestly felt terrible for him after his first bad decision.

The God Loki has returned. No, not the Marvel Universe Loki. I'm talking about the Loki in Julie Mannino's fiction novel, *Loki's Bargain*. Right off the bat, this is a book for mature audiences only, packed with violence and sexual content. And let me tell you, there's plenty of both. What I appreciated was how the book exposed the torturous realities of the past, showing how women were often treated as sex objects with little respect. But that's not the main focus of *Loki's Bargain*.Instead, ...

Loki the trickster is an imperfect person, and Julie Mannino captures that perfectly in "Loki's Bargain." He has to watch his son grow up without being there to influence him, and he has to pay for past irresponsibility. It's a well-written book, a compelling read that delves into the world of those who live longer than humans, yet still walk among us. If you're looking for engaging fantasy book reviews, I highly recommend checking out "Loki's Bargain."

Mythology lovers, rejoice!Think you know the story of Odinโs adopted son, the Trickster Loki? *Loki's Bargain* takes you down a different path, one where sacrifice and accepting the fate you've earned through your choices form the core of the book. This is an enjoyable short story featuring many familiar faces from Asgard. One bad decision *can* and *will* cost someone everything, but who will ultimately pay the price? Will it be the Trickster himself, Loki, or the surviving mortal impacted by o...

Loki's infamous for his mischievous streak, and his shenanigans are definitely on point in "Loki's Bargain." That one trick, where Loki tripped Ecgherht and sent him sprawling into his own pee? Gross, yeah, but also hilarious. The guy totally deserved it; he was a brute to his own family. And the comedy just keeps coming with the image of Loki as a mouse, twitching his whiskers and rubbing his tiny little hands, so proud of his prank. But not every trick is a laugh riot. Some pranks start out fu...
