Description
To save the world, Gunhild must save the innately untrustworthy God of Mischief, the irredeemable Loki.
Gunhild refuses to be defined by others who believe she is unworthy of respect as an orphaned Jotun. In Gunhild, Volume 2, the Gods have refused to heed her warnings about the impending Ragnarok, so she goes against their wishes and hatches her own plan to save mankind.
Unfortunately, Gunhild is in a tough situation:
- Loki, the God of Mischief, whom she trusts and who is also a Jotun, is locked up in Hel.
- The journey looks to be dangerous, with more mythical figures approaching her and her human friend, who lacks the ability to protect herself.
- The Frost Giants are still angry with Gunhild for escaping their clutches and plan to take revenge no matter what.
- And the hunt is on—but it’s for Gunhild!! The mysterious Tyr and his giant wolf, Fenris, can’t be stopped!
Featuring full-color art throughout, the Gunhild graphic novel series offers a fresh take on Norse mythology as well as a unique and important story of friendship, identity, and prejudice.
Gunhild, Volume 2, is rated Y for Youth, recommended for ages 10 and up.

NetGalley provided this ARC.
Loved!!! I had such a fun time reading the newest adventures of Gunhild. I had the pleasure of meeting the author earlier this year and I’ve been sold on this series since. The art is gorgeous and I absolutely love the color palette. This manga series is great for those who love Marvel and Percy Jackson, I highly recommend to all ages!!
I am going to start this review by with say that I have a BA in Classical Civilizations and have loved mythology on a whole from the time I was 5. I got the first volume in this series out from the library and since finishing it have eagerly been awaiting the second volume so I was very happy to get the chance to read an Arc copy of volume 2 in exchange for an honest review.
This graphic novel takes Norse mythology and puts a fresh spin on it. The graphic novel is a great adaption of this pantheon of gods making them seem relatable and relevant to modern day readers. I could see this series being easily used in a class room of book group as a jumping of point to talk about Norse mythology. This is probably tied with the Magnus Chase series as one of the best adaptions of Norse mythology I have ever read.
The art work is dynamic, energetic and detailed. there are certain panels that I would love to print out and put on my wall!
If you have even a passing interest in mythology you should give this series a look!
