Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi LeeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Loki is still young and his stories have not yet happened … or have they? He knows that time is not linear and sometimes your future is someone else’s past. Everyone expects him to do bad things, even his father, Odin. The only person who believes in him is Amora and when she is sent away to Earth for something she and Loki did, he loses this one positive influence in his life. As time continues on Asgard without Amora, Loki slips deeper into darkness as his brother, Thor, is continually praised and loved. After magical murders are detected on Earth, Odin sends Loki to discover the source. He finds himself in nineteenth-century London and begins to learn more about himself and the secrets of his father.
Loki: Where Mischief Lies is a stand-alone novel about the creation of a character everyone loves to hate. Lee promises to write two more young adult novels about other Marvel characters but this book can definitely be read on its own. I love alternate storylines and character retellings, but this novel left me feeling that something was missing. It was still a good read, just not a great read. I don’t know who the other two novels will be about, but I will be looking for them to learn more about them.
