Already being translated? Talk about fast.
I've yet to purchase this one (asked a friend to get it for me; my card is running dry OTL), but apparently it's full of good things.

I don't know what to say about this. Js06 is breaking his own limits, translating three light novels at the same time. Go for it Js06 we are cheering for you.
Now, about the novel. Is it a single volume series? |

In one of the illustrations, Loki's figure of speech sounds suave compared to what I had as my image of the God of Mischief... or I might have been tricked with that style.

About Valkyries: Brynhildr appears in some Eddic poems, where there are quite a few Valkyries being named. A nine-name list contains: Hildr (Brynhildr), Göndul, Hlökk, Mist, Skögul, Hrund, Eir, Hrist, and Skuld. An extended list is: Hrist, Mist, Herja, Hlökk, Geiravör, Göll, Hjörţrimul, Guđr, Herfjötra, Skuld, Geirönul, Skögul, Randgníđ, Ráđgríđr, Göndul, Svipul, Geirskögul, Hildr, Skeggöld, Hrund, Geirdriful, Randgríđr, Ţrúđr, Reginleif, Sveiđ, Ţögn, Hjalmţrimul, Ţrima, and Skalmöld.
My guess would be that Kamachi used the nine-name list of Skáldskaparmál Chapter 57 as the basis, with Waltraute being added due to her appearance in Götterdämmerung. However, Waltraute does not appear in any of the old records, and is a charater who appears solely in Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. |

"These are called Valkyrs: them Odin sends to every battle; they determine men's feyness and award victory. Gudr and Róta and the youngest Norn, she who is called Skuld, ride ever to take the slain and decide fights." Why would Onii-chan not want authenticity? |

Thor cross-dressing and eating his own goats is one thing, but Loki and Svadilfari as well as Freyja and the dwarfs might be abit too high level...
