The Gorgon Bride

De: Galen Surlak-Ramsey

Narrado por: Natasha Soudek

The gods are funny...except when you piss them off. Then they suck. They really, really suck.

Alexander Weiss discovers this tidbit when he inadvertently insults Athena, goddess of wisdom, and she casts him away on a forgotten isle filled with statues.

Being marooned is bad enough, but the fact that the island is also the home of Euryale, elder sister to Medusa, makes the situation a touch worse. The only thing keeping Alex from being petrified is the fact that Euryale has taken a liking to the blundering mortal. For now.

What follows next is a wild, adventurous tale filled with heroes, gods, monsters, love, and war that is nothing short of legendary.

Great Mood Lifter!

Sweet, uplifting story that doesn't take itself too seriously, with a bit of the greek gods and goddesses thrown in. Narrator does a great job with all the voices. Can't recommend it enough. This is the only audio book in my entire collection I've listened to twice within the same month. If people keep putting books like this on Audible, I'm going to go broke...

Nothing but Amazing.

This book is what officially got me hooked into audible. The story was amazing I cannot put into words how beautiful and wonderful the story was. The way the olympians were written and portrayed stayed as close to their original myths as possible and should there ever be a sequel I’d buy it in an instant. 10/10 would listen to again.

Meh

I thought this was okay, not great, but not bad either. The main character was written with totality clueless, but exceptionally clever personality that I didn't really buy, or get into. The voice acting was a low point for me. It was voiced by single woman, so many of the male voices started to sound the same. I think this could have used a second actor or actress to add a little bit of diversity to it.

mostly good. a single glaring flaw.

I found the story pleasing, and most of the narration good... except for the main character Alex. I'm sorry but he usually sounded like a stoner.... or napoleon dynamite. it just wasnt conducive to the story, kind of broke the immersion for me.

This book is AWESOME... MORE please!!!

Thank you so much! I absolutely loved this book, and the narration was perfect. I fell madly in love with the characters through their voices, especially Alex and his Gorgon Bride. I wasn’t expecting her to sound so sweet and him so innocent... loved it. I felt like they were both personal best friends to me and wanted to marry them both! I also loved Athena, and her sass, and thought it was brilliant that Hades sounded like a total depressive monotone type, instead of some growly demon jerk, which is how I was expecting him to sound. I really love it when narrators make creative choices, and this narrator rocked it. I could really FEEL all the characters’ personalities while listening, and it’s a huge gift when that happens, in any audiobook. There were so many cool characters in this book, and it was an incredibly fun experience hearing them with this modern twist. Exciting story, too! Great job keeping the listener totally engaged!

I’ve listened to this book twice already, because it just puts you in a great mood

My only gripe is that the sequel isn’t out yet. Can’t wait to hear it! Thank you!
