Resumen del Editor

Before he was a god...Odin was a man.

Only a fool would venture into the soul-stealing mists. That’s exactly where Odin is going. Along with blood-brother Loki, he hunts the frost giant who murdered his father.

Caught between the machinations of Loki and a goddess, Odin is drawn into a world of sorcerers, trolls, and terrible secrets. Before he’s done, Midgard will drown in blood.

But what if revenge was only the beginning? A chance at immortality looms. If only he can bear the price....

This volume collects the complete nine-book series.

Truly enjoyable and great

As a follower of the norse gods I truly enjoyed this take and story on their origins, it was a truly good series with a wonderful story of great characters and I found myself laughing a good bit through out the books.

Good value, okay story, great narrator

I've only finished the first two books in the series, and have to take a break. The story isn't very compelling, and there are a lot of gratuitous sexual scenes (nothing extremely graphic though, but enough to make me cringe lol.) The chapters are very short, and as they jump between several main characters, it became a bit confusing. The narrator does do an excellent job however. I plan on finishing the series, but as other reviews have said, you have to take it in bits. Though 90+ hrs for one credit is too good of a deal to pass up. So, if you like vikings, battles, magic and monsters this is a great value.

Good overall

I picked this up because it was one credit, to my surprise it was a good listen.
I enjoyed it because it was long but did not feel drawn out, there is a lot of fighting but I kinda figured that based on the description. I would recommend this as a casual listen if you like Norse mythology.

best everrrrr

this is by far the best collection and reader ever. I'm listening again right after I'm done.

A work of art

Truly an amazing listen. When I first started I thought I might have chosen poorly. The action was slow at the start and learning the names was a chore. However I am so glad that I did. I will be revisiting this grand and epic tale again in the future. One of the greatest and most gripping fantasy/action stories I’ve ever experienced. Give it a chance past the first few hours and you will not be displeased.

the amount of hours first, but I enjoy books about war history and theology

it was over all good books and I can not find anything bad to say about these stories. I hope to find more

Amazing!

I was fully invested and couldn't take a break from this book. It was written perfectly and narrated to really give you a feel of the era.

Fantastic story based on Norse mythology

I loved this story all 90+ hours. Don't go in thinking this is a retelling of the actual mythology because that's not what it is. This might actually be a better story.

Fantastic listen

I thoroughly enjoyed the listening adventure. I gotta say, the narration and performance from my perspective was great. I only wish it hadn’t come to an end.

That was a huge rabbit hole...

I loved the whole series. It is LONG... and that is the whole reason I got it. Now it has made it into my favorites list. Read these books! They don't strictly follow the mythology, but they are inspired by them and have some pretty epic scenes.

Fair warning, there are several trigger scenes throughout the series.
