Great acting and storytelling

Firstly, if I could give the performance more stars I would. Great voice acting. You could tell exactly which character was speaking before you were told. Honestly I was thrown at the beginning of each chapter when the performer used their real voice for a moment. As far as story goes, the author manages to create an entire world that you feel a part of, without having to resort to long history lessons or explanations. Everything from the world setup to the interactions of characters with different cultural background all seemed very organic and realistic. By following one main story, in which the characters all tell each other other stories from mythology, the author is able to put the contents of an epic saga all into a 4 hour listen. Highly recommend for any mythology fans.

Each page is filled with fascinating tales that make you feel like you're right there on a Viking ship, sailing through giant seas and discovering new worlds.

The gods are shown with all their strengths and weaknesses, which makes them feel real and relatable. I especially loved the tales where they face huge monsters and use their wits to win battles.
