Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Growing up on Asgard, son of Odin and in the shadow of his brother Thor, as a magic user rather than a mighty warrior, has not been easy on Loki. More so because Odin doesn't want him to pursue his magical side.
Then Loki meets Amora, apprentice sorceress who is destined to be Court Sorceress and adviser to the King. She encourages Loki to study his magic, regardless of the orders of his father. Then at a holiday feast, Odin looks in a mirror that once every ten years shows the fate of Asgard, and Odin sees trouble being lead by Loki. But the mirror gets destroyed, and Amora says she broke it. Odin banishes her to Earth, where her powers will wither and she will eventually die.
Many years later, strange deaths are happening on Earth and Odin sends Loki to investigate, while he and Thor look for a magical artifact that has been stolen.
Loki finds himself in 19th century England, searching for the cause of the mystery and finds himself face to face with Amora. He needs to deal with his feelings for her, his need/desire to please his father and figure out who he is as a person, prince and magic user.

This was a quick & fun YA book that gives a bit of personal background and looking at the internal conflict that only made me adore my favorite villain/anti-hero in the Marvel Universe.
