Great book, but I hate it when the main story isn’t completed in the book.

What If…Loki Was Worthy? by Madeleine Roux
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
DNF at 25%. The writing is … not great. The timeline doesn’t match the MCU, which this is based on. Tony and Thor are at completely different and nonsensical parts of their character arcs, for example. Why would Loki be walking dogs? A good “what if” story should still be plausible. I am intrigued by the concept this book offers but hate the execution.
