Personally I don’t think it’s necessary to have read The Gospel of Loki before reading Testament however, I would suggest you do so as it helps to build up the characters and whilst you might already have some knowledge of Norse mythology I still think the extra time spent with the characters, particularly Loki, can only be of benefit. Of course, I have no idea if that was the intention but I would love to think that there are more Loki stories yet to come. With this book Ms Harris opens up a whole new realm of possible stories. Where the Gospel of Loki was a retelling of Norse mythology and the fall of Asgard told from the tricksy perspective of Loki, Testament goes a step further. Arguably, I would say that this is even better than The Gospel of Loki, although it does have a younger feel which might not appeal to everyone. It was such good fun, a really quick read and jam packed with humour and goodness.
