Summary
With his notorious reputation for trickery and deception, and an ability to cause as many problems as he solves, Loki is a Norse god like no other.
Demon-born, he is viewed with deepest suspicion by his fellow gods who will never accept him as one of their own and for this he vows to take his revenge. But while Loki is planning the downfall of Asgard and the humiliation of his tormentors, greater powers are conspiring against the gods and a battle is brewing that will change the fate of the Worlds.
From his recruitment by Odin from the realm of Chaos, through his years as the go-to man of Asgard, to his fall from grace in the build-up to Ragnarok, this is the unofficial history of the world's ultimate trickster.
Read by Allan Corduner.

Never trust a demon ...
The tone of the writing (and narration) is spot-on here. Loki is perfectly portrayed as the cunning, callous yet charming God he was. A brilliant, contemporary re-telling of the ancient tales - thoroughly recommended!

Well performed, I just didn't enjoy it that much
This one has been a bit of a mammoth to get through. Thankfully, I slept through a lot of it.
Dreadful music. Why doesn't anyone use real instruments anymore?

Great
This is really well read and performed. The story and characterisation is great, but essentially just a retelling of some of the more common Norse myths so not worth reading if you already know them, if you don’t this would be a great way to get acquainted! It is witty and clever and I look forward to the sequel!

A Personal Retelling From You Know Who
Fantastically voice acted by Allan Corduner, I could not put this down/stop listening. His accents really brought it to life.
It's things from Loki's point of view. You know, the trickster God. It makes him both relatable and deplorable as you'd expect, but he is nothing if not true to his nature.
Joanne Harris is hard to put into a literary box. She has wide ranging interests from cookery books, to life in France, gothic tales, to folklore. Author of Chocolat, one of my favourite comfort books and comfort films, I think with this work I've fallen a little bit more in love with her.

Another Harris Winner!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This audio version was well put together and the narrator, Allan Corduner, captured the character brilliantly.
Any additional comments?
When you start off with one of today's top authors and add in a well produced narration you end up with the best audiobook I've purchased in the last 12 months.

Sublime!
Laugh out loud in parts (e.g. how Thor lost his hammer), keep you up at night (e.g. ragnarok). A wonderful retelling of Edda tales, keeping them alive in modern language. Thank you!

Fantastic new novel from Harris
Amazing story, thrilling and mysterious, I couldn't stop listening! Narrator perfectly suited the silver-tongued Loki.

Fantastic writing, fantastic producing, frantastic narrating!
This was a spot on sharp edged portrait of Loki the person, not Loki the problem. Finally. Such a well needed fresh breeze of personal development added to the norse mythology litterature genre!
Very well written, with a crystal clear red scripted thread sewn evenly throughout the entire book. I'd say it was a balanced meal of being both entertaining without getting shallow or repetetively no-reason-condescending (as it often is when it comes to Loki, without being questioned)...
In all fairness this was the first book I've read with such a heartwarming and pure interest in portraying Loki as an intelligent being with a quite relateable ADHD-lack of impulse control/foresight mixed with a satisfying ability of self-insight. Thank you for the great read!

The Real Deal
Would you listen to The Gospel of Loki again? Why?
I will listen again! This was a wittily written book, well plotted and loved revisiting the Norse mythology.
What did you like best about this story?
Loki's wit, craftiness and sense of "poor little me".
Which character – as performed by Allan Corduner – was your favourite?
Loki. Corduner captured Loki's sarcasm, cunning and sense of humour wonderfully well.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Loki's capture and imprisonment. Loki's arrival and reception in Asgard was also rather sad.

Great story and great narration
This is a great story made much better by a very entertaining narration. In fact, I think the narration really makes this audio book as it is told in the first person and Allan Corduner makes the perfect Loki, complete with voices.
