AD 852. For centuries the Vikings have swept out of the Norse countries and fallen on whatever lands they could reach aboard their longships, and few could resist the power of their violent onslaught. They came at first to plunder and then to settle, an encroachment fiercely resisted wherever they went.

Such was the case in the southern lands of Ireland. En route to the Viking longphort there, known as Dubh-linn, Thorgrim Night Wolf and Ornolf the Restless stumble across an Irish ship that carries aboard it a single item: a crown. The Vikings eagerly snatch the prize, unaware of its significance to the people of Ireland and the power granted to the king who wears it. Soon the Norsemen are plunged into the violence and intrigue of Medieval Ireland, where local kings fight with each other and with the invaders from the north for rule of the island nation. With enemies at every hand and loyalties as fickle as the weather, Thorgrim must lead his men, the white invaders, the Fin Gall, in the fight of their lives, with both Irish and Dane eager to see them dead.

Allfather’s Blessing

This was a thoroughly enjoyable book to listen to. It highlighted the infighting of the Irish kings, a subject that I had not been very aware of. The story relied on a lot of skirmishes and battle scenes and could have used more plot. The performance was well done! This was a great find.

Treachery

There was confusion over the many characters. It was hard to follow the various storylines.

Good story. It was worth my time. I will probably listen to the next one at some point. You're going to want to speed the narration up to about 1.2 or so.

Entertaining

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

There are few enough main characters that it is easy to follow while doing your work. It does not leave many loose ends/cliff hangers at the end of the book. The narrator also gave enough variation in voices that it also helped to distinguish between characters. I hope you enjoy as I did.

A good listen!

I’m sure that Shaun Grindell is respected in his field and own right. But this was not his best work. The characters had very subtle differences which didn’t allow my imagination to breathe. This gives me hope that one day my voice acting dream will be successful. I am engrained in the story and entrenched with the men in each scenario of the pouring rain. I’m in the military and there is a sense of heritage with each chapter. It’s what kept me coming back for more. Overall I enjoyed this adaptation.

Narration

James Nelson (Lord Nelson to his Sea Scouting friends) has written a fantastic and accurate story about a Norse crew gone a Viking in Ireland.
Though the English accent of the narrator Texas getting used to, and there aren't any actual Scandinavian accents to speak of, it was a great listen. I'm looking forward to starting the next book (In about 5 min).

A captivating story!
