Immersive Journey of Norse Mythology

My wife is a Viking, or at least she was in a past life when she captured me, so this book is right up my alley. This is a wonderful exploration of the enthralling world of Norse legends. I love the way the story is blended together with tales of gods, giants, and heroes. It’s a very engaging story of the lives, the epic sagas and myths that have fascinated readers for centuries. Each story is told in a way that grabs you and brings you right in so you feel as though you’re living the part.

I love how the book gives you a greater understanding of Viking culture and beliefs. I got to know my wife a bit more - LOL. This is entertainment for sure, but also educational with symbolism and themes that underpin Norse mythology. Whether you are a mythology enthusiast or somehow related to a Viking, this book immerses you in a Nordic experience.

Unique way of learning history

The oral style of this audiobook is awesome and helps carry the reader back in time to 900 AD. The author presents many Norse myths in a different and far more intriguing way than just spouting facts like many books in this niche do. Instead, it incorporates the basics of the classic stories into new tales - full of their own adventure. The added imagery captures the imagination and paints an even greater picture of what the old myths must have meant to those who told them over a millennia ago. Also, I have a special spot in my heart for any book that starts by narrating the tale thru the eyes of an 11-year-old boy (Harry Potter). It's a clever way to explain things simply to the reader by disguising it as curiosity found in a child.
