The Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok by Ben Waggoner4.0/5.0 - I would listen to this book again, the content was interesting, and the reader was fantastic. There are three sagas from old Norse tales, a Latin fragment of the list of kings, and the Krakumel, Ragnar's death song, which is so lyrical!
I desire my death now.
The disir call me home,
whom Herjan hastens onward
from his hall, to take me.
On the high bench, boldly,
beer I’ll drink with the Gods;
hope of life is lost now—
laughing shall I die!”
There is one part where the king is talking to Bjorn that is a bit tedious, being "the king said...", "Bjorn said..." like some kind of tennis match. Other than that, it was interesting to things from " Vikings" and "The Last Kingdom" come alive.
