And the Heavens Burn, A Norse Mythology-based fantasy series

Norse Myth -- (AtHB) Kinsmen Die Ch 13: Vidar plays dodge the spear


Listen Later

Welcome to CHAPTER 13 of the Kinsmen Die podcast, home of fantasy fiction based on Norse mythology that’s written and read by me, Matt Bishop.

In this podcast I read my first novel, Kinsmen Die, one chapter at a time. Every five chapters, I recap the key plot points and provide some insight into the myths I’ve referenced in the book as well as some of the creative choices I’ve made along the way.

In Chapter 11, we were with Loki as he, himself with himself, beside the Franangr.

In Chapter 12, Hodr Odinsson had returned home and shared a meal with his significant other, Alara. Not that the Norse used that term, of course.

In this chapter we’re back with Vidar Odinsson. When we last left him, he’d just been scolded by the town elders. They were a bit unhappy with how little he remembered about them or their town.

Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter. Please review and/or share the show -- it is a huge help! And, please feel free to contact me: mattbishopwrites (at) gmail (dot) com.
