Olivia (Stories For Coffee)'s Reviews > The Goddess of Nothing At All

I feel as though I stumbled upon a gem, a story that consumed me whole that not many people know about. The Goddess of Nothing at All is a sweeping mythological retelling of Sigyn and her relationship to Loki. It spans the course of their entire life as they come together, go on video game-esque side-quests, and are eventually thrust into a world of war and anguish they are destined to face head on all thanks to Loki’s reckless, infuriating behavior that one can’t help but expect from the God of Lies.

I didn’t know anything about Norse mythology before diving into this book, besides what I learned via the MCU, so this book took me on a JOURNEY. I grew attached to certain characters, I gasped in disbelief, and felt overwhelming anguish at the turns this story took. The author didn’t hold back in terms of highlighting the horrors of Loki’s life and the battles he wages along the way due to his arrogance and inability to let things go.

This fantasy was all-consuming, fascinating, and kept me on the edge of my seat. At first, the side-quests at the beginning of the novel felt repetitive, but once we were thrust into the heart of the story, I was immersed in Sigyn’s world full of unique characters, a fascinating plot true to Norse mythology, and extraordinary character development from Sigyn who grew into the role she was meant to play.

If you love mythology and a raw look at Gods and Goddesses who live and breathe drama, then you must read this dark fantasy, but be warned, it’s called “dark” for a reason.

(I would highly recommend looking up the TWs before diving into this story)
