I really enjoyed this! The narrator was fantastic and engaging, and kept me hooked on the story from the getgo.
Thank you so much for the book <3

What a fun read! Lately I’ve been connecting more with my Scandinavian and Norwegian heritage, and learning more about Norse mythology so this was a lot of fun!

The book is marketed as being for children, but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed the stories and found them clear, concise, humorous, and interesting.

Thank you Arcturus Publishing and Arcturus Digital Audio for the arc and alc version. The ebook copy was beautiful to follow along with, and I felt a nice mixture of illustrations and text. It’s the kind of book I would buy for my family to re-read over and over again.

The audio is narrated by Penelope Rawlins who did a phenomenal job! Each characters voices were different and articulate and she does such a good male voice - very impressed. The inflection, emotion and articulation in which she narrated and told the story was so inviting and captivating.

A collection of informative stories from Norse mythology. Also, a great Who's Who for Marvel films.
Based on the cover, this must be a book with beautiful illustrations, however the audio version read by Penelope Rawlins was easy-to-follow and entertaining enough to pique the interest of a younger audience.

Loki the trickster did many nasty pranks, hurting many. Asgard is the world of legend and these stories bring them to life.

Well written and well narrated book (I listened to the audiobook). Heroes, monsters, Valkyrie and Fenrir, enjoy.

This was actually so good and as an adult I really enjoyed listening and reading it. It’s full of so much information so a great beginners intro to Norse Mythology. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read/listen and review.

Thank you to Arcturus Digital Audio, Arcturus Publishing, the author and NetGalley for providing me with both an LRC and DRC in return for an honest review

A wonderful introduction to Norse mythology for younger listeners and readers! I enjoyed both the Kindle edition and the audiobook. Samantha Newman’s retellings are clear, exciting, and full of personality, while Penelope Rawlins’ narration brings each tale vividly to life. The illustrations in the Kindle edition are beautiful and vibrant—perfectly complementing the stories. From Loki’s tricks to the epic clash of Ragnarök, this is both entertaining and educational. Perfect for kids, and grown-ups, who love myths and legends!
