Reviews"With his penchant for disruption-for good or ill-fully established, the Loki presented here will delight fans of the legends and the comics."-- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB), "The dry, conversational humor ("I think you're trying to inflate the charges against me with synonyms") works in tandem with the story's unflinching plot. Lee deftly reveals the depths of Loki's struggle to grapple with his need for approval as well as his desire to make his own destiny and find an authentic identity."-- Booklist (starred review), "With his penchant for disruption--for good or ill--fully established, the Loki presented here will delight fans of the legends and the comics."-- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB), "The dry, conversational humor ("I think you''re trying to inflate the charges against me with synonyms") works in tandem with the story''s unflinching plot.

Lee's Loki is a complicated young man trying to define who he is as distinct from his family, something that many young people can relate to, and while Lee does not skimp on the fun-a fabulous party, flirty and witty dialogue-she also clarifies that it is not individual acts that determine whether someone is good or bad."-- Publishers Weekly, "With his penchant for disruption--for good or ill--fully established, the Loki presented here will delight fans of the legends and the comics."-- (BCCB), "One does not have to be a Marvel film franchise fan to enjoy this action-packed, emotionally resonant origin story of trickster deity and sorcerer Loki. . . .

SynopsisAn instant New York Times best seller *"This deft, nuanced examination of identity, destiny, and agency is a surprisingly tender addition to the Marvel canon."- Kirkus Reviews , starred review *"This mischievous origin story is sure to satisfy fans of this popular character."- Booklist , starred review This is the first of three young adult novels from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee that explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Before the days of going toe-to-toe with the Avengers, a younger Loki is desperate to prove himself heroic and capable, while it seems everyone around him suspects him of inevitable villainy and depravity . . . except for Amora. Asgard's resident sorceress-in-training feels like a kindred spirit-someone who values magic and knowledge, who might even see the best in him. But when Loki and Amora cause the destruction of one of Asgard's most prized possessions, Amora is banished to Earth, where her powers will slowly and excruciatingly fade to nothing. Without the only person who ever looked at his magic as a gift instead of a threat, Loki slips further into anguish and the shadow of his universally adored brother, Thor. When Asgardian magic is detected in relation to a string of mysterious murders on Earth, Odin sends Loki to investigate. As he descends upon nineteenth-century London, Loki embarks on a journey that leads him to more than just a murder suspect, putting him on a path to discover the source of his power-and who he's meant to be., An instant New York Times best seller! *This deft, nuanced examination of identity, destiny, and agency is a surprisingly tender addition to the Marvel canon." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review *"This mischievous origin story is sure to satisfy fans of the popular character." -- Booklist , starred review Selected for the ILA-CBC 2020 Young Adults' Choices reading list.
