Great book; didn’t care for the narration

Naima Simone is a genius and I absolutely love this story, but I found the male narration to be so off putting I couldn’t finish. He’s a great reader and I think I’d enjoy his work with a mystery or thriller, but this material and his performance weren’t a good match for me.

I tried to finish this. Unfortunately, this book has a ton of casual misogyny and the "villain" is a deeply disturbed woman who is mocked and belittled by the main characters. Hard to root for bullies but I guess they deserve each other? Towards the end, when the happy couple is snickering over evidence of the villains mental illness, I got so disgusted I had to stop.

this is an entertaining collection of Norse myths told by the beguiling author. funny, tragic and moving in turn, it's been a wonderful listen for my son and myself.

I'll start with the positive - the narrator's voice is lovely. His Irish accent is terrible, but that's such a small part, it barely matters.

The story is horrible. If it was from the heroine's point of view, this book might not be as problematic, but since we're treated to every sexist, misogynistic thought in the "I know what she wants, even if she doesn't" protagonist's head, it's an absolute nightmare.

The writing wasn't bad. The dialogue was good and felt natural for the most part, but there is nothing sympathetic in Drew. He's just a spoiled child masquerading as an alpha male. I made it through to the end, hoping for some redemption but in the end, he's still the same immature manchild that we met at the beginning of the book.

Really disappointing.

The story was good, well constructed with good pacing and enjoyable characters. But the story has a hero from New Orleans and the female half of the narration team is doing southern accents. It pulled me out of the story when the male narrator did not.
