Publisher's Summary
From the translator of the best-selling Poetic Edda comes a gripping new rendering of two of the greatest sagas of Old Norse literature.
Together the two sagas recount the story of seven generations of a single legendary heroic family and comprise our best source of traditional lore about its members - including, among others, the dragon slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, and the Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok.

Enjoyable and accessible
Great translation, well read, and with enough context given but not so much as to get in the way. I was unprepared for the number of monstrous cows.

good listen
I enjoyed this - but the narrator pronounces every single word that starts with "w" with extra whhhhhhh... like instead of just word... wHHHHord. super annoying and takes away from the experience.

More depth
Great work that brings more to life the thoughts and stories that would fill the rooms of Vikings.

his voice was good but sound quality not so good
the sound was awfully "tingy" like keys jingling or sharp "s's". also could have used a longer pause after huge events before continuing on.
