Sigyn's Revenge
Community Rating
Description
A thousand years ago Loki was chained up in a cave as punishment for the murder of Baldur. For a thousand years, Sigyn has stood by her husband, holding a bowl over his head to catch the venom dripping down from the snake above his head - but now she has had her fill. Change is coming to Asgard as Sigyn sets out to get revenge on Odin for killing her sons and chaining up her husband. With only Loki's children and the newlywed humans Max and Ian, Sigyn sets off to do what no one has ever done before: Bring Odin to his knees and make him admit his own guilt.
Sigyn's Revenge is a story about justice, standing up for yourself and what you believe in, about love that is worth fighting for, even if everyone else thinks you are insane for it, and about family and the strength that it gives you. Go on the journey of a lifetime, through Midgard, Helheim, and Asgard, and feel the love between the loyal Sigyn and the unaccountable trickster god Loki.

- luda305Royal Road★★ 2.0There's two major parts of this story. The first, which is about 90% of the story, is a re-envisioning of Ragnarok where Sigyn's, Loki's wife, plays the central role and actually averts Ragnarok despite freeing Loki and Fenrir. The premise isn't terrible but the execution is very much go to A, do B, say C. And it just happens. In that respect, it does feel like the old epics, which are ridiculously primitive compared to modern literature. So it's okay.
The other part of the story is the married couple that just tags along for the whole story and ends up being married friends with Loki and Sigyn. Oh, and one of them has brain cancer, and curing that is payment for them freeing Loki because apparently two random Texans could do that. They literally do nothing else for the remaining 90% of the story, until the very end when they give a pep talk to Loki to go make up with Sigyn. It's weird. I mean, Sigyn is definitely the hero of the story, but I think the married couple are the protagonists. Maybe?
My last criticism is that there are two points of the story where the narrator (who is narrating in third person POV) breaks the fourth wall and uses "I" in order to opine on various aspects of the Asgardian mythos.
