I'd been reading snippets from Bjorn Larssen's new Norse mythology novella, Creation, on his Ko-Fi page for a few weeks prior to the book's launch there so I already knew I would chuckle at it's humour. Creation is very different in its tone to Larssen's historical fiction novel, Storytellers, but it shares his astute observations and understanding of human nature - or godly nature as it should be in the case of Creation. I loved following Odin's baffling first few days of life, the world springing into being around him as his two brothers vye to create beauty and horror respectively. There's a wonderfully dry sense of humour throughout this novella so I would caution against reading it on public transport - everyone will glare grumpily at you if you can't stop giggling. I just wish Creation had been a longer work. I do hope Odin doesn't take to long …
