About this listen

Nothing is trickier than the truth. All Loki the trickster god of Asgard wants is a peaceful life where he's free to stir up a bit of harmless mischief. But when he's struck by a painful vision of blood, ash, and death he knows his fun has run out. Refusing to have his life obliterated by some stuffy prophecy, Loki feels he must save Asgard. Except the gods stand in his way. They don't trust the God of Lies, which means his only hope is to return to Odin, the man he wished to forget thanks to their complicated history.

When Loki meets a mortal woman, his plans hit a snag. Sigyn is delightfully stubborn and quick with a blade. She also, inexplicably, possesses a divine element found only in a god. As Loki falls deeply in love with her, he never expects their bond to fulfill the prophecy threatening all their lives.

Forced between honoring his oath with Odin or protecting the woman he loves, Loki will discover that the only thing crueler than truth are the lies behind it all. And the truth changes everything.

Absolutely fantastic

I loved this book. The author did a fantastic job of writing about the gods. The narrator is amazing. Each character had their own nuances, so you could tell them apart. An all-around fantastic experience.

Absolutely amazing!

I read this book first in ebook format and immediately loved the story and characters. But the audio book is even better as the narrator brings so much life to the words. It was like listening to the story anew!

Wow just wow!!

So well written and so well narrated. The end is just so very heartbreaking. Poor Loki, poor Sigyn, poor babies, poor Odin.

An Epic Tale of Mischief and Woes

I loved this story so much!!!! The narration was superb with the vast array of voices. Loki's voice is my favorite and I could feel true emotion in his words. One of my new favorite stories that I have listened to on repeat. Truly a masterpiece.

Performance is great. Story not so much

Performance is great. Story not so much. It could have been great. I didn't like the Odin and Loki relationship. It ruins what I know about the original Norse myth. The story is quite slow. I had to speed it up at 1.5x to keep listening.

Yeeeees!

Excellent author and narrator! I was skeptical, not knowing the author, but I'm thrilled I tried it. I'm grabbing the second book right after this review 😆❤❤❤

my new favorite series

a wonderful telling of norse mythology from the perspective of the one and only trickster. yhe book perfectly incapacitates his joy, his pain, his agony... and ofc his cheeky ways i say that as a witch who works with yours truly :) loki has known me my whole life but when i was 17 he finally reached out clear as day this book helped connect me even closer to my patron god as much of a bastard as he is ^^

Great narrator, great concept, poor execution

I really wanted to love this book. I loved the concept so much I pre-ordered as soon as I heard about it. First off, let me say that the narrator is phenomenal! I hope to see more narrations from them in the near future. They did a beautiful job bringing the characters to life and working with the material. The narrator is what made this book bearable. If I had read it myself I would not have made it through.

While the concept is absolutely brilliant and the author did an amazing job with the story as a whole, I feel like it was a struggle to get through. I had to actively force myself to follow along and work to stay engaged. This had nothing to do with the story itself, but rather with the sentence structure and being overly wordy where it wasn't necessary. For me a lot of places seemed unstructured and to drag on without adding any value or moving the reader forward. I believe this to be an issue of flow or perhaps editing rather than an issue with the author's writing as a whole.

I do believe there is limitless potential with this story however, and will be cautiously waiting for the second book. My hope is that after writing this one, the author will come into their own a little more and really find their stride. For now I wait, slightly dissatisfied, but still wanting more,
