CHILDREN OF RAGNAROK Runestone Saga

Jennifer Jill Araya narrates the viewpoints of teenagers Eiric Halvorsen and Reginn Eiklund in alternating chapters as their separate journeys weave through this story. In the years since Ragnarok, the human realm of the Midlands has struggled from receding magic and fruitless lands. When Reginn finds herself performing a miracle in front of two wyrd spinners, she is offered an escape from enslavement. But is the seeming paradise of New Jotunheim truly a sanctuary? Araya expertly pronounces Norse words, like "modir" and "systir," while lending unique voices to each character. All voices sound appropriately aged, including those of the elders, whose secrets are not given away by the way they sound. The maps included in the print edition are not part of the audiobook, but the story is still enjoyable without them. S.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2023]
