Of Norse Gods, Goddesses, and Cosmology

This book on Norse mythology was an interesting listen. The publisher starts with the history underpinning Norse mythology before driving into creation myths and the background and stories of a variety of Norse gods and goddesses. Loki is the focus of the central part of the book; he even comes in during discussions of other deities. Not only is Norse creation explored, but also the end at Ragnarok. I enjoyed listening to stories of these deities and the cosmology of Norse mythology, but the most fun chapter talks about how well the Norse pantheon and mythological world is portrayed in popular culture, not only the movies but also in games, books, and more. If you have any interest in Norse mythology, you might find this as interesting as I did.

Norse Mythology Legends

This is a nice collection of stories about the Norse gods. The stories are easy to follow and understand. The flow of the book is good and the addition of the information on how the Norse mythology ties into the world today made for an engaging listen. Narrator Theodore Rose does a good job of bringing this book to life. He keeps the tone light and interesting keeping the listener engaged.
