About this listen

Chronos, god of Time, and creator of the Universe, wants to destroy Eternity.

A mysterious immortal seeks vengeance.

And a reclusive Olympian deity does what no god should ever do: She answers a prayer.

As punishment, she is stripped of her powers and trapped in a mortal's body. Now a Wyrd - a fated god - she is haunted by the memories and thoughts of her host and must hide her true identity in order to survive in Niflheim, the rival Norse Underworld.

There she discovers the afterlife is not quite what it used to be. Niflheim's new ruler threatens the precarious balance of a world overrun with outcast deities and mortals alike.

To save her own sanity and find her way back to the stars, she must help the other Wyrd overcome their grievances to defeat this enemy, but those who would be her allies appear to have motives as hidden as her fragmented consciousness.

And yet it seems the greatest threat to her freedom comes from within, and the prize it seeks is her immortal soul....

A whirlwind of scheming gods and mortals seeking either to go toe to toe with their deities or desperately trying to survive in a world sundered by their joint abuses. Wyrd Gods adds a whole new spin not just to the usual Fantasy novel tropes but also to our myths and legends of old.

Thrown into this pandaemonium are two beings, one a god who used to be human and one a dryad from another time. At odds with each other yet with their fates and their very beings inextricably entwined, they struggle for the dominance of self as they also strive to make sense of the world they find themselves in (at once familiar and yet terrifyingly changed). The implications of their situation may be further reaching than either could guess...

Fast paced, witty and sharp, this adventure is a must listen for anyone who is a fan of mythology (classic or contemporary) and has ever had an argument with that voice in their head and not been sure exactly who came out on top!

Having read the book first I can say Sarah Kempton's narration fits the tone and rythm of the text perfectly, her characterisations are identifiably engaging and she hits those points of wry humour and introspection with accurate subtlety.

I have read all the other reviews which describe and praise this audiobook perfectly. Hence I am trying to work out what my review can constructively add.

Let’s start with the author - Susana Imaginario (great name) You can tell instantly that Susana is an intelligent, skilled and creative writer who is brilliant at dialogue. There are hints of Pratchett, Gaiman and Robert Aspin in her work. Please note I say hints, Susana writing style and voice is all her own.

The greatest praise I can give Susana is that I can see ( or is that hear) her work being dramatised and read on Radio 4 or Radio 4 extra . It’s that good and that high of a standard.

Which leads me onto the narrator Sarah Kempton. This is the first time I have heard Sarah, and I could instantly see why Susana picked her to do the narration. Sarah not only enhances the story she brings it alive. Is there any better feedback for a narrator?

If you like your fantasy to be hack and slash , then this is not the audiobook for you. If you like your fantasy, intelligently written, character driven and full of Mythology (though not quite in the way you would imagine) then download it now and treat yourself to a wonderful ( and moderately guilt) indulgence.

Mythology-inspired and character-driven fantasy

Engaging from the beginning and entertaining throughout, Psyche's journey through the Norse Underworld is an intellectual workout with an emotional payoff and plenty of sarcasm along the way.

Sarah Kempton's narration fits the narrative perfectly.

A mischievous take on mythology

Absolutely loved this book! The characters in it are brilliant. You really find yourself rooting for them and absolutely hating the "bad guys". The world she has created here is amazing. Stories about the Gods are not a new idea so it's hard to find a brand new take on them but this author has done just that. The narrator's energy brings the story to life and gives each character a unique persona. I can't recommend the book enough! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off the start the second in the series. :)

Outstanding
