It was really good. I wished, of course, for more time and learning but that was not in the description so I received what was promised.

Nice and (probably) complete overview of the poems and sources. Context of the time period could be better, because the turbulent times that made the poems written down are not fully explaned. Snorri might have written his Edda to prevent losing all the knowledge, explanations and history the Christians didn't like. There is very much disappeard, because there are hardly sources to find between 400 and 900 CE, which is the time we are to told that we already were Christians. It's been a time of religious war, that we are not supposed to know. Snorri probably was no christian, nor proves that he believed in the old Norse mythology. Adapting to Christian "values" ment preserving the Nordic Mythology. You might give him the credit for that. For lots of tales are lost.
