Ragnorak: The End of the Gods is a 2011 novel written by English critic and novelist A. S. Byatt. Written for the Canongate Myth Series, Byatt chose to make the book about Norse mythology so she could grapple the "appalling finality" of Ragnarök. - Wikipedia

My first book by AS Byatt, and I tremendously enjoyed this take on the Norse myths with an autobiographical element of the "thin child" evacuee losing herself in these myths and trying to use them to interpret the war.
