About this listen

An epic Norse retelling for fans of Bernard Cornwell and David Gemmell.

Starkad knew those days were over. The gods, whether old or new, cared not for the plight of the people. The age of gods was over. Perhaps it was now the age of heroes, or maybe the end of everything was on the horizon.

Starkad did not know the answer. All he knew was that cold steel now ruled. If the gods had abandoned him, then he would make his own way.

The north has descended into darkness. Abandoned by the empire. Deserted by the old gods. Left to fend for themselves. The Kingdom of Asgard is a light in the darkness, a beacon of civilization in a dying land. A place of heroes.

But war is coming...

Driven by prophecy, Odin, king of Asgard searches tirelessly for a hero who can stop the coming destruction.

The Aesir Saga is a gritty reimagining of Viking age myth told through the eyes of three young warriors destined to become Heroes of Valhalla.

This story puts a unique twist on Norse mythological characters. It tracks the journey of three average men who are on a journey to prove themselves as heroes and details their adventures along the way. I love how characters such as Odin, Thor, and Loki are woven into the story as real men, instead of as gods. There were some unexpected turn of events that kept my attention all the way until the end!

I enjoyed the storyline and while I got bogged down a bit in the middle possibly because I was listening while doing other things, I found the main characters each had relatable characteristics and enjoyed their growth. Curious how the next book will go! Side note, there is some minor language(like 3 F-bombs) for those with sensitive ears.

The story and character arcs were fantastic. I had a few issues with how the narrator conveyed a few things, but it wasn’t too bad as to distract from the story.

I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect before I listened. I don’t know a ton about Norse mythology, but the way the story was told was very compelling and I didn’t feel like the story went above my head. I liked that he took myths and reworked them into a more realistic story!
Also really enjoyed Wes’s voice and how he narrated the story! Would recommend!

Not knowing anything about the book, I started listening. At first my mind was confused because I was expecting the gods of the North and not the historical fiction of the men who became the legends. As soon as my mind made the switch, the story was compelling and I continued to look forward to where the story would lead. I am hoping that this is the first in a series that will continue to tell the story of Odin, Thor, Loki and the actual heroes of the men who fought for them in their battles. Well worth the listen.

I quite enjoyed the way it was it’s own story, but was influenced by the actual Norse mythology.

Very well written!

I think you put a lot of story in one book that can be a little overwhelming for new readers.

even though it is an existing set of folklore it still feels like new caricatures.
