Neil Gaiman
The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, best-selling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive - irascible, visceral, playful and passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarök and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern listeners, and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be heard around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

Thank you Neil Gaiman and Audible for bringing this story together :)

Nothing like the movies, but so much more interesting and engaging.
These Gods remind me of who we call Devas in my culture. Loved it.

This book speaks of gods who accept fate, who die and are reborn, who sacrifice for knowledge, who cause chaos only to bring balance, and who understand that endings are beginnings in disguise.
Much like Hindu epics, the gods here aren’t flawless—they are powerful, yes, but also vulnerable, emotional, wise, and sometimes wrong. Odin’s willingness to sacrifice his eye for wisdom reminded me of Shiva’s stillness and introspection. Thor’s simplicity and power brought echoes of Indra. Loki felt like Narada meets Ravana—with chaos as a necessary force of change.
And the end—Ragnarök—isn’t a doomsday tale. It’s a Pralaya, a dissolution that makes room for a new world. As a Hindu, that idea is deeply resonant: time moves in cycles, not lines.
Gaiman writes with poetic simplicity, yet each tale lingers like a parable. This isn’t just a book—it’s a bridge between cultures, showing how myths across the world reflect the same cosmic truths.
If you're someone rooted in Indian traditions, you'll find yourself not just enjoying these stories—but recognizing them.
Highly recommended.

This audiobook weaves together the stories of all the characters of Norse mythology that we love. The events are tied together very well and I never got bored anywhere in this book. The stories written so well and I couldn't help but be impressed with Neil Gaiman's language.
Neil Gaiman's narration was as good or better than his writing. The expressions in his voice matched those of his stories perfectly.
An absolute delight to listen to.
