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 this popular character."-Booklist, starred reviewThis 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.

"As a marvel fan this book is a perfect look into Loki’s life and why he is the way he is. I wish there was a movie on the earlier parts of his life. I loved Loki’s relationships and friendships in this book. "

"It was just so good!! The ending really fits to watch the first Thor movie!! I ate this up in 2 days! I could probably do it in a day if I wasn’t doing anything!! This is definitely one of my favorites! 💚💚"

"This was a bit disappointing. It had such a good beginning and middle. Was such a good story I couldn't put it down until I hit the end. I really didn't like the ending. SPOILER ALERT!! They ended up making Loki fall in love with another character and tbh it kind of felt forced and ruined the ending for me. I'm not homophobic I just really didn't like the way the relationship between these characters was done. It felt so strained and sudden and I wished they would have gone more in depth with there relationship. And built on to it a little bit more. But other than that I give this story a 8/10 #loki

"It was a fun book. Very interesting especially that you see Loki in a whole different way than in the movies. You get to see his soft side and his angry side. This book is what got me into reading!"

"Hi, <br/>Today I have my review of Loki by Mackenzi Lee. Contains minor spoilers.<br/>Loki by Mackenzie Lee is, the story of Loki where as a teen he sees his fate with his best friend so all throughout his life he tries to change it. So after a failed mission his father sends him to Migard (Earth) where he continues to try to change his fate but he faces many challenges but at the end he doesn't change his fate. <br/>I would give Loki by Mackenzi Lee a 5 star review because, one the plot isn't really action filled its more like a big book of character development, two the author combines what we already know of Loki/the Norse and gives us a whole new perspective.. Three while there was parts about the book I didn't like for example all throughout the book people treated Loki prejudice like his father and his brother they acted like he wasn't worthy of them and he was evil because of his supposed fate then their was the people on Migard (the SHARP) treated Loki like he was scum and didn't really try to know him just because, of the stories that they had of him. Fourth I felt that Loki's fate could have been changed if they didn't treat him like they did. And finally I liked how Loki is, apart of the LGBTQ+ as being genderfluid and either being as Bi or more likely being more of a pansexual because, it gave us something new of the character Loki."

"A super readable, fun character exploration of one of the MCU’s best villains. Be aware the is MCU Loki. Also, the MrsEaves typeface is sometimes hard on tired eyes. "
