Not bad, worth a listen with an open mind.
If you have prior historical knowledge on Scotland, Ireland and Scandinavia as I have, listen with an open mind and try to ignore the timelines as I failed to do in some chapters.
Overall the book was good. As a Scot myself it was nice to hear some of the old myths again but they seemed to end more abruptly and lacking context in some parts. And the settings seemed a bit out when it came to timelines and cultural settings, Scandinavian ties etc. as they lived in longhouses not castles and Norway had many Jarls and Kings until they unified under Harald Finehair.
While the narrator did well, he could have been a bit more inventive with his portrayal of some characters. Going for an English accent in a Scottish myth is a bit of a no-no even if the character is supposed to be more upper class.
Nevertheless, Good effort, would like to hear more tales. Good Job.
