I really loved listening to this audiobook! Norse Mythology has always been fascinating to me and Gaiman does a wonderful job weaving the pieces of forgotten stories together to breathe new life into them.

All of the stories were fascinating as they built towards Ragnarok, the death of the gods, and the ultimate end to the world. It was both bittersweet and wonderful to listen to as the gods all slowly succumbed to their fates. I can easily see myself listening to this again!

I, as a newbie in Norse mythology, found this book very informative and a great starting point! Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite storytellers, and as usual, he nailed it.
