About this listen
'We live as men - but fight as gods.'
Born on the gallows, the corpse of his mother swinging from the rope above, the villagers brand him The Bane of the North and leave him out for the Fug to claim - a deadly fog ruled by Draugr - Viking warriors that had long ago fallen in battle. They didn’t expect to find him the next day, tattooed with the mark of an ancient god.
Fifteen winters later - ridiculed, scorned; but never broken, Bane forges a life as a forager, surviving between Castle Garik and a looming mountain that legend says contains the body of a Norse god. In a strange twist of fates Bane discovers that the mark gives him abilities beyond that of mortal man, and along with his lineage and a blood link to the god, his journey unfolds, fraught with danger and purpose.
As the drums of war close in, and the time of men comes to an end, Bane could be the North’s only hope.

But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

Two years after the Unravelling revealed monsters and their hidden realm to the world, garden designer Ellie Harding seems to have her life together, living out her cottagecore dreams on the picturesque island of Motuwai, New Zealand.

When single mum Clio’s ex Gary turns up dead on the doorstep of her caravan – the one she’s been forced to live in ever since he stole every penny she had – there’s only one suspect. Her. What’s more, she doesn’t remember much about the night he was killed – not just because of the forgetfulness that’s been plaguing her along with the hot flushes – but because she definitely had one too many cocktails with her two best friends Amber and Jeanie. Clio does remember them talking about how much they all hated him though.

Gale has a problem. A really thorny problem. He can't touch anything made of wood without it bursting into bloom… which is inconvenient, to say the least. Clearly, his unicorn is cranky about something—Gale just wishes he knew what. In the meantime, being cursed with the world's most annoying green thumb is making it pretty much impossible to continue working as a sous chef. Maybe a relaxing trip into the mountains will be enough to soothe his sullen unicorn.

Story
Veteran script consultant Jill Chamberlain discovered in her work that an astounding 99 percent of first-time screenwriters don't know how to tell a story. What the 99 percent do instead is present a situation. In order to explain the difference, Chamberlain created the nutshell technique, a method whereby writers identify eight dynamic, interconnected elements that are required to successfully tell a story.

Great norse fantasy.
All in all I feel like this was a pretty awesome book! I enjoyed a majority of the plot points and I liked the way that figures from norse mythology were blended into this fantasy.
My only complaint is Alruna's voice. I also feel like she might be painted as the stereotypical spoiled chiefs daughter until the 3 quarters of the way through the book.

Action packed story
This book has it's pros and cons. Decent action and reasonably paced storytelling. There are a few parts that are quite absurd. Spoiler Alert** using a weapon in a unarmed fight is quite a dishonorable thing with the consequences of death not being promoted. When the weak man of a author thanks his wife for proofreading. That explains most of the absurd parts. Just ignore it.

Interesting premise with a disappointing execution.
I really liked the idea of the story but I didn't like the execution like all the other povs where annoying.
Spoiler Alert
I also found it it extremely unpleasant that he swore an oath to the family that is the cause of basically all his problems.

Slow start to the story and very reminiscent of farseer trilogy. Could not stand the Alruna character…every chapter with her POV made me want to skip
