The Valkyrie Kara stood alone against the Ragnarok horde on Earth to ensure that the Asgard race and Valhalla could escape. For 5,000 years she has fought and evaded the Ragnarok race on Earth, just waiting for her people to return. A human woman, Kate, joins her fight, showing as much conviction and valor as any Valkyrie. Their friendship quickly becomes something more as they hold the line on Earth in battle, to herald the return of the Asgard.

I managed to get through the book. it had such potential the first chapter or so and then it just turned dreadful I am so sorry to say.
I love the concept but this book is overly simple cheesy and in parts just stupid. I guess I won't be listening to any more in this series of books sad to say.

to say sophomoric would be kind

Erik Shubach brings out the best in a character and does it with a dramatic flair! I loved this one and am grabbing the next in the series!

Woohoo!!!! Beautifully imaginative!

Schubach takes the classic Norse mythology and twists it. Instead of the gods of Valhalla we have an alien race. Instead of the Valkyrie and the Einherjar preparing for an event called Ragnarok, they are fighting other aliens called Ragnarok. In the story the ancient norse mythology was actually all started by Kara, the main character, when she got drunk and told the tales of her people to a group of vikings.

Though all the characters are a little larger than life, since they are super old and powerful aliens, they all still feel real. And Schubach adds plenty of humor into his books too that make the characters feel that much more real.

I absolutely loved this book and the series just gets better with each book. I highly recommend it.

Brilliant Twist on an old Mythos

I did enjoy the story, but found that it would have been better if it described the emotions of the characters as they go through different things and about each other. It just felt a little dry.

Not a bad story line

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this audiobook to a friend! The story is fun and different, the characters are easy to fall in love with, and it leaves you wanting more. Immediately after finishing I wanted to research more on Norse mythology and I love the direction that it goes in. I can't wait to listen to the next book!

What did you like best about this story?

The scenes with action and switching character perspective were the most interesting!

Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any of Hollie Jackson's performances before but she did a good job and added 'attitude' and 'spunk' which was fun.

If you could take any character from Return of the Asgard out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Kate of course. She would be fun to get riled up.

A great story and characters

Made me laugh .... a lot

Any additional comments?

I am impressed by the wealth of detail Mr. Schubach incorporates into his Valkyrie stories. Mr. Schubach writes the way every day man/women thinks. It's not all perfect grammar or poetry - it’s just hard facts with a comic twist. The book has action - history - and life lessons all rolled up in a good story. I would say it is well worth the credit! I hope his other books in this series become available to Audible Books!!!!

Great Series
