C.K. Kesterson and 1 other person liked Matthew Linton's review of Heroes of Valhalla (The Aesir Saga, #1): "A solid Norse fantasy. I have only a general understanding of Norse mythology and I'd be curious to see what a true student of the subject would think of HoV. Having sad that, this was an enjoyable read with some intense battle scenes and deep charac" Read more of this review »

C.K. Kesterson liked Rich's review of Heroes of Valhalla (The Aesir Saga, #1): "A "seen from outsiders" story around the characters of Norse mythology. Odin, Thor, Balder, etc...tend to be "humanized" to the point of being relatable, but not the stuff of legends. "
