De: Arizona Tape

Narrado por: Aleksi Graves

Her dream comes at the price of human souls.

Ylva has always wanted to become a Valkyrie, and now that she's enrolled in her first year at Afterlife Academy, she's getting her chance. But nothing is simple about bringing souls to Valhalla, and she soon finds herself embroiled in ancient rivalries and new friendships.

With more human souls in need of collection than ever before, Ylva and her classmates are about to get a crash course in death. Valkyrie 101 is book one of the Afterlife Academy: Valkyrie, an urban fantasy academy series with a lesbian romance.

The Afterlife Academy specializes in teaching paranormals how to help human souls pass onto the next phase, whether that's by guiding them gently, preparing them for rebirth, or cutting them loose with a scythe.

Part of becoming a Valkyrie includes learning how to:

• Open the gates of Valhalla
• Train your pet wolf
• Harvest a soul
• Earn wings
• Die and come back from it

Captivating

I was so caught up in the story that I had to download the next one immediately. I love the characters and the story is so original. I really started to think about the afterlife and how this might work. Get imaginary. The narrator was very good as well. I just can’t wait to start the next book.

Great Character Growth!

So I will start of by saying this book was a hard start for me. The main character starts of as unlikable, simply with the fact that she is so judgmental, self absorbed and thinks less of all the other Afterlife Assistance and is offended an Elf was going to school to be a Valkyrie instead of a Reaper. I kept going hoping she will grow and I'm glad I did! She definitely starts to see things from a different perspective, she learns more from her roommate and as she learns more, she is also growing herself as a person and discovers new things about herself. I related to her so much in the self discovery, the confusion she has about what she's feeling, how she's feeling, who she is really and even what is her sexuality. This is a hot and cold for her because it is confusing at first because if you are taught all your life one way and feel different it makes you feel like you are broken or wrong. I was so devastated when the story ended because I wanted to keep going to see what is next, will she get clarity and what is happening to the world. I highly recommend this book and want the rest of the series ASAP!

Worth it

I picked this story up on a whim and I promise you won't regret it! At first i found the mc annoying but i pushed through and found it to be absolutely an amazing book. I'll be reading through the rest soon!

amazing!!

I loved this first book, I have in e book and audio! I enjoyed the narrators way of giving life to the characters and story!! great listen/read!😍😮😍

Love It

I love Valkyries so I was quite excited to see Arizona Tape's academy book is all about Valkyries. I love the classes and learning about the veil and Valhalla. We head to The Afterlife Academy with Ylva and find her training to become an afterlife assistant is not quite what she was expecting.

I love the side characters and seeing the difference in the Wind Children, Dragons, and Wood Elves. The budding friendship/relationship between Ylva and Ryoko is so sweet. Pickles the dust bunny is so adorable, I want one of my own. There's a lot packed into this quick read that left me eagerly awaiting more.

I enjoyed the narration and how she brought the story and characters alive.

Loved Valkyrie 101

This was a great book. The detail was excellent and I was able to really set the scene in my head while reading. The narrator did an outstanding job.

Good Beginning

Overall I found this to be an interesting and original storyline. I however did not connect with the main character. I found her obnoxious & judgemental. I was hoping she would learn acceptance and see the error of her ways ( and she may in future books) but she didn't in this one. The narrator was wonderful bringing the story and characters to life. I would give book 2 a chance since I did like the overall story

So good!

Interesting world development. Good characters and interactions. Well done plot. I want more! Loving the story, and looking forward to the next in the series!

Good story!

The storyline was good, but did seem like one that would appeal to younger readers from high school to early college age. Kind of similar to the world of Harry Potter, it was more of a dark magical land. The narrator wasn't bad, but I would love to see more expression come from her voice.

horrible story

the romance in it it's unrequited undefined and frankly pathetic. the story itself makes no sense a majority of the story happens in 3 days and then there are months of nothing pointlessly and it ends without ending it tells you nothing about the world in which they live nothing of the Legends and what the valkyrie actually were. the heroine goes on about how determined she is and gives up the first opportunity talks about how strong she is and can do nothing. do yourself a favor give this one a pass.
