A comprehensive journey
This audiobook is a great listen, as it goes beyond the popular characters everyone already knows. I like listening to these books, instead of reading them, since I often find myself questioning whether I'm using the proper pronunciations. It's a great resource if you want to understand Norse mythology by combining several different sources into one. Great storytelling as well!

Norse Mythology is Fascinating!!!
This book was just so addicting from start to finish. I loved hearing the various origins behind Zeus, Loki and so many others! Nathanial Rhodes did an excellent job of going in depth into each of the figure heads, how they were influenced and in return how they influenced the Viking culture. If you are even the slightest bit interested in mythology, you will love this book!

A Fascinating Dive into Norse Myths and Viking
This book is a fantastic introduction to Norse mythology and Viking culture! It goes beyond just the well-known gods and legends, offering a deep dive into the lives of the Vikings and their unique traditions. I loved how it’s split into two parts—first focusing on the epic tales of the gods, then shifting to the real-world adventures and rituals of the Viking people. It’s both informative and engaging, making it a great read for anyone curious about the roots of these ancient stories and their lasting influence today.
