If you think you know the Norse god of mischief, think again. Things are not always what they seem, and this trickster is full of surprises. "Very original and a fresh take on the character, Loki" - Amanda D "A journey filled with intrigue and entanglements" - Tracy E "We suspect this talented ... woman is the next JK Rowling" - Award-winning radio host, Mark Alyn As Loki's rite of passage draws ever closer on Asgard, a secret portal just outside the palace repeatedly, almost forcibly, entices him back to Midgard (Earth). It's the fascinating Jazz Age of 1924. As Loki travels throughout Europe, dazzling adoring crowds with his colorful illusions, he feeds his growing thirst for fame. Parading as Lukas Black, the showman and magician, proves far more intriguing than studying or playing second fiddle to his warrior brother, Thor. Back on Asgard, King Odin begins to value the overlooked prince, who suspects the Asgardian noblewoman he is expected to marry is connected to both the threat to his father's throne and the murderous stalker pursuing him on Midgard. Meanwhile, why can he not forget the beautiful American singer promised to another? Torn between two worlds, Loki plays a high-stakes game of risk and danger that could cost him everything. Will his double life be his undoing? Historical fiction and fantasy lovers alike will find themselves captivated by each twist and turn as Loki explores Norway, France, England, Belgium, and Germany. Join Loki in experiencing The music, magic, food, and culture of the Roaring Twenties Bohemian Paris, theatrical London, and some of the most famous cities on Earth Favorite places and characters from 1920s history, including the Folies Bergère and author James Joyce Gods and goddesses from Norse mythology A bit of fun with Shakespeare Review: Just when I thought I couldn’t love Loki any more... I was wrong. - So be prepared this is probably going to be long. The story is hopping with adventure, some romance and a lot of Loki Magic. The authors writing style is very intriguing. Never becoming complacent and repeating words, or lines. She was sure to incorporate diction that really established a splendid picture. The imagery was amazing and really enchanted the reader so that you feel a part of the story. The worst part was the end, when I realized I had to come back to reality. Which is what all good authors do to readers. I love the authors take on Loki. Where Marvel paints a picture of an uncaring self centered person who only seeks the throne (as with most Norse legends do) this author sees him in a different light. It’s like putting on a pair of glasses to see and understanding a deeper part of the ever complex Loki. What’s even more fascinating is that the author wove into the book how Loki received such an obnoxious reputation and used it to her advantage in the reimagining of Loki. (Sort of how Stephanie Meyer reimagined vampires to “sparkle”, only this author did it a much more inventive way.) The author then seems to sew Norse mythology into historical 1920 events even to the point of knowing actual theater owners from the 20’s. There is no short cuts in this book. They author was well versed in historical events, weapons and Norse mythology, then almost effortlessly intertwined them in a way that they belonged so well. As a teacher, I look for things that might help my students fall I love with reading. I am definitely going to take a deeper look at this book. I think students would love the Character Loki and the learning of talking how maybe the villain isn’t that at all, and use things such as Maleficent to really hone in on this critical thinking and viewpoints/angles. Then use the authors diction and descriptive language to show students how this is what captivates the reader. Then of course watch their faces and expressions as the last line is read knowing what is coming. This is truly an amazing book. I am thinking the author must be related to Loki as she has a mysterious way that “dazzles” readers and keep them wanting more. I am on “pins and needles” waiting for book two! Review: An Enchanting Adventure with Loki of Asgard - Many fans of the Marvel Multiverse are madly in love with Tom Hiddleston's Loki. If you are one of them, or if you just enjoy the realms of fantasy, you will love this book. It is the first of a trilogy. We meet Loki as a young man who is preparing for the rituals of Asgardian adulthood. He discovers a magic portal that takes him to Midgard, Earth of the early 20th century. He sort of falls into a friendship, falls in love, meets some really interesting people, and learns how to drive an early motor car. This book is a lot of fun to read because Loki has to carefully wend his way through Earth culture and customs. Since he is still a student, supposedly studying for his entrance to adulthood back in Asgard, he has to slip between the two realms. Back home, he's fending off his mother's concerns and gently disengaging from an old girlfriend. Loki's new friend sees his magic as the potential for a great performer. From a small cafe performance, Loki becomes a popular act. That's the basic plot, but it doesn't quite reveal the fun of reading this book. Loki worries about his clothes, wonders why so many horses on Earth are named Thor, and becomes besotted with the food he encounters, especially cinnamon rolls. You will need snacks on hand as you get into the book. Jennifer Meinking is a new author who is destined to be a fan favorite. Her writing is literate, descriptive, and draws you into the essence of how Loki became the King of Magic. Her style is like a cross between Marion Zimmer Bradley, Katherine Kurtz, and a dash of Jane Austen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #591,254 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #64 in Teen & Young Adult Norse Myths & Legends eBooks #87 in Teen & Young Adult Norse Myths & Legends #9,338 in Teen & Young Adult Literature & Fiction eBooks | ## Images ![Loki of Midgard: The Making of a Magician (The Loki of Midgard Series Book 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xFqnJyFyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just when I thought I couldn’t love Loki any more...

Not what I expected at all *by T***A on August 1, 2019* I seem to remember saying I don't normally read romance. This is why. Most of the story is really quite decent but the romance is so mushy I really can't believe any of it. I'm sure other readers will enjoy it but I'm not one of them which is sad because the writing is good and some of the characters are really interesting and believable. I did enjoy Loki slipping off to Midgard and becoming famous but the whole falling in love thing was just too much for me. I couldn't enjoy it at all. There was too much gazing into eyes and thinking how beautiful this woman is and on and on and on until my eyes glazed over. I might have done better with it if it had felt more mythological like Larkin's Ragnorak era Loki and had more adventures going on. Guess I just don't do well with flat out romance unless it's a fairy tale like Beauty and the Beast. This isn't a Loki I can believe in like I could the Loki in several other stories. He seems too modern even though I know he's more adaptable than the other gods, and it just grates on me somehow. I wasn't real thrilled with the story ending in what feels like the middle either. I expected an end with the next book being a new adventure in a new place and time and hopefully less romance (or at least less wallowing in it). For those who like romance, definitely worth picking up. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/120018034-loki-of-midgard-the-making-of-a-magician-the-loki](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/120018034-loki-of-midgard-the-making-of-a-magician-the-loki) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
