Publisher's summary

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.

must read for Asatru

if you love the gods, are a someone that follows the ways of heathery, Asatru, or pagan at all this is a must read.
if you like the wheel of time I would strongly recommend this for your audible collection

Greatest Storyline

my favorite series I've read. totally captivating
I love how well it is put together. with good laughs!

Everything you ever wanted in a book!

I really love this book a fresh new perspective about the gods of Viking mythology, bloody glory, and a touch of mystery makes everything about this book. Amazing.

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.
