Norway, AD 785. It began with the betrayal of a lord by a king....

King Gorm puts Jarl Harald's family to the sword but makes one fatal mistake - he fails to kill Harald's youngest son, Sigurd. His kin slain, his village seized and its people taken as slaves, Sigurd wonders if the gods have forsaken him. Hunted by powerful men, he is unsure who to trust, and yet he has a small band of loyal followers at his side.

With them - and with the help of the All-Father, Odin - he determines to make a king pay in blood for his treachery.

Using cunning and warcraft, Sigurd gathers together a fellowship of warriors - including his father's right-hand man, Olaf; Bram (whom men call Bear); Black Floki, who wields death with a blade; and the shield maiden Valgerd, who fears no man - and convinces them to follow him.

For whether Ódin is with him or not, Sigurd will have vengeance. And neither men nor gods had best stand in his way....

God of Vengeance is a must-listen for all who enjoy thrilling, action-packed fiction - from Bernard Cornwell to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones.

Norse tale

Storyline was easy to follow.
While the battles were action packed,!the scene depictions were not overly grotesque. I would read sequels to this storyline. I liked the humaness included in the narrative.

Outstanding book

Great Listen

However, in-depth details about viking life and norse religion, frequent action, great characters, excellent writing and superb narration. It's worth it, but violent if it's not your thing.

Typical coming-of-age revenge story

Great story, descriptive battles, nonstop action, and brutal villains. Character development could use a little more attention but this book could have been 2 parts itself. Nice work, can’t wait to see where the rest of the books take me.

If you like : The Last Kingdom, you will love this.
