About this listen
Norway, AD 785. It began with the betrayal of a lord by a king....
King Gorm puts Jarl Harald's family to the sword but makes one fatal mistake - he fails to kill Harald's youngest son, Sigurd. His kin slain, his village seized and its people taken as slaves, Sigurd wonders if the gods have forsaken him. Hunted by powerful men, he is unsure who to trust, and yet he has a small band of loyal followers at his side.
With them - and with the help of the All-Father, Odin - he determines to make a king pay in blood for his treachery.
Using cunning and warcraft, Sigurd gathers together a fellowship of warriors - including his father's right-hand man, Olaf; Bram (whom men call Bear); Black Floki, who wields death with a blade; and the shield maiden Valgerd, who fears no man - and convinces them to follow him.
For whether Ódin is with him or not, Sigurd will have vengeance. And neither men nor gods had best stand in his way....
God of Vengeance is a must-listen for all who enjoy thrilling, action-packed fiction - from Bernard Cornwell to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones.

Very entertaining Viking Sage
Enjoyed the story and the way it was read.
The saga was twisting and turning and was just enough brutality, swords, axes and shields.
Very entertaining.

Haven't finished it yet
I'm not too sure if I will like the book just a bit or a lot by the end. It seems like the author just decided to use Norse mythology and google a few gods and then decide how they would be mentioned and used in the story/ character interactions. Will update it when finished!
On another note the narrator seems a bit lacklustre

Not bad but not captivating.
Not a bad story. worth the read but does not compel you to keep listening as other authors in this category do such as Bernard Cornwell.
