The Valkyrie Kara stood alone against the Ragnarok horde on Earth to ensure that the Asgard race and Valhalla could escape. For 5,000 years she has fought and evaded the Ragnarok race on Earth, just waiting for her people to return. A human woman, Kate, joins her fight, showing as much conviction and valor as any Valkyrie. Their friendship quickly becomes something more as they hold the line on Earth in battle, to herald the return of the Asgard.

Excellent Book!

Great twist on Norse mythology. I absolutely loved this book. Comedy, romance, action, and aliens! Whats not to like? In this book, the Norse Gods aren't Gods at all. They are an alien race and they're coming back to Earth for Ragnarok which is actually another race of aliens. Hollie Jackson does an amazing job with the narration.

Absolutely AMAZING

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It would be hard not to, an awesome blend of humor scifi and romance i cant wait to see more of the series on audible

Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Unfortunatly no, im definitly going to be keeping an eye out for her other performances

Who was the most memorable character of Return of the Asgard and why?

Kara stole the show for me, and i think id love to see more of her story in a prequal or series of prequals to Return of the Asgard, a character with alot of potiental

Any additional comments?

Well worth a credit keep an eye on Erik Schubach definitly an amazing up and comming author

great new series

I am so glad I gave the novel a chance. Great take on Norse mythology , with grand characters. It is wonderful to have the Valerie take centre stage, rather than the usual Odin and Thor stories. I like the blend of sci-fi, fantasy and mythology, set within modern parameters.
A few scenes made me smile and one or 2 actually made me laugh.
It isn't as funny as the iron druid series, but it definitely holds its own.
Can't wait for book 2!

Female romance is so refreshing

The story was a little too short and rushed for me, but had quality adventure within it. Though the sexual desires amongst the characters were redundant (which happens way too often in queer book/movies), it was easy to ignore over time and just focus on the developing love between the two main characters.

Entertaining.

The story is entertaining but don't expect more than just a tease when you learn of a certain love interest.

great story

I loved this story. I enjoyed reading it and Holly's narration brings it to life.

Im hooked!!!

Ok this is just as exciting as Urban Fairy Tails Series.
Talk about action.. its full of exciting moments.
the underline love story wasnt missed either.
It was a very sweet book i can so see as a tv series. i would love to see it on the big screen. Its that good.

Great book

I was totally captured by the story. I had to listen all the way to the end. Good to have strong female leads in a story that normally would have gone to a man. Can't wait to listen to the next book.

Originally Refreshing

It is about time someone wrote great science fiction with a strong female character who happens to be a lesbian. The story is great and does not have sappy sex. what it does have is a strong story that integrates with legends and folklore. It is a refreshing reminder, there are still good science fiction writers. Isaac Asimov Quality.

Return of Asgard

This was an amazing book. Reminded me of myself about fifty years ago. Right on, girls.

loved the entire story, imagined the characters,

loved everything about it... Valkyrie, honourable warriors, a romance to make me smile.... can't wait to read part 2! Narrators voice was also a bonus... very pleasant.
