mispronounced words

Revisado: 03-18-25

love the writing and story but the constant mispronouncing of jarl, jotun, Valkyrie just break the immersion. changed narrators since the previous book, sigh. I'm still listening but the quality has dropped.

Skip this one

Revisado: 06-14-23

the narrator sounds like some inhuman text-to-speech translator which mispronounces words and has machine-like phrase timing and pauses where they shouldn't be. beyond that MUCH of the information is just wrong. if you ask me, this was written by an automated SQL database which was fed tons of good and bad data and just misses the mark.
not worth the money.

you want this one!

Revisado: 10-16-22

I have listened to many audible books and while some of them have a good story The narrator can stifle that story to the point where it's almost unlistenable. in other cases the story will be mediocre and even a good narrator cannot resuscitate it.
The Totally True Adventures of Gustav Gustavson has a rare combination of an excellent narrator and a very entertaining story.
It is a rare case that an audible story can have me laughing in my car as I am stuck in traffic. you want the experience of this story and we can all hope that there are sequels to this one.

endlessly dry

Revisado: 10-29-20

someone needs to do a health and welfare check on the narrator. he may have passed away a few years before this was produced. Siri or Google text to speech speak with more inflection and personality.
the content is accurate but without linkage or notable progression. I know it was free, so there is only so much criticism that can be given.
it reminds me of a robot reading me the phone book whitepages (If you remember what those were).

best narration performance

Revisado: 06-26-19

I have listen to many audiobooks on many different services. this narrator really nailed the tone, inflection, and characteristics of all the different roles in a fluid and seemingly effortless style. I wish he read all my audiobooks. if you are a narrator, use this performance as your rubric to examine your own!
Of course the story is well known classic and I cannot add much to the common-knowledge evaluations of its quality other than to add my own A++ to it.

just a romance novel

Revisado: 05-16-19

could not quite finish. No viking in it, the story could have taken place in chicago. if you want a romance novel then this is for you, but personally I would prefer the protagonist to have a reason for their actions.

I cannot recommend this audiobook

Revisado: 03-10-19

I am a voracious reader and commute approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes each day. I supplement my reading desire with great number of audio books and have heard some wonderful combinations of author and narrator- 'When Norse Winds Blow' is not among that group.
The author's pervasive use of reverse-scrambled prepositional phrases in combination with the narrator's cadence and tone just do not compliment each other. The narrator tends to read 3-4 words at a time with her own pauses injected awkwardly into the text which produces a choppy presentation. This book may be a good 'read' but I cannot recommend the audio format.
The story does not lack inter-personal drama, but it takes place in an almost nondescript environment.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the story and look forward to a continuing saga from this author.
