About this listen

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.

to say sophomoric would be kind

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.

Brilliant Twist on an old Mythos

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.

Not a bad story line

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.

Great Series

What made the experience of listening to Return of the Asgard the most enjoyable?

A great first book from the Valkyrie series by Erik Schubach

What was one of the most memorable moments of Return of the Asgard?

The powerful ending.

Which scene was your favorite?

To many to choose one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

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!!!!

Female romance is so refreshing

The story was a little too short and rushed for me, but had quality adventure within it. Though the sexual desires amongst the characters were redundant (which happens way too often in queer book/movies), it was easy to ignore over time and just focus on the developing love between the two main characters.

hands down amazing please hear them all

without a doubt this series is amazing. the story is great covers all angles for any science fiction lover. there is only 2 issues and there kinda ties together. 1 I wish every book was longer. 2 the end of every book is rushed. they feel like author go to a point and thew everything in real fast. there all great. so please listen to every book. the narrator is amazing and does change for last 3 books but aside from a few mispronounced words almost as good. lol but hollies is the freaking best
