His books revolve around different mythologies and his next series will focus on Norse Mythology! I&#8217;m excited about that because I love anything to do with the Vikings! One of my favourite books that uses gods and goddesses from Norse Mythology is <em>Eight Days of Luke<\/em> by Diana Wynne-Jones.
