![]() ![]() Young Prince Loki knows he’s not his father’s favorite. If there’s any writer who could do justice to the utter queer chaos that is Loki, it’s Lee. ![]() Still, I’ll read anything by a favorite author (I read Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringeras well), and matching Mackenzi Lee with Loki was clearly brilliant. Why reshape well-known characters to fit a format they’re not designed for? Why take writers at the top of their game away from original fiction? It can work, but I haven’t exactly been seeking these books out. I’m not entirely convinced by the recent trend of comic book characters being adapted to novel form by the top YA writers. I didn’t know that she’d written a new book until one day at work I rung a customer who was purchasing Loki: Where Mischief Lies. The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtueis a perfect mix of silly, snarky, stirring, and sweet. Mackenzi Lee is one of my favorite authors. ![]()
