About this listen

Her dream comes at the price of human souls.

Ylva has always wanted to become a Valkyrie, and now that she's enrolled in her first year at Afterlife Academy, she's getting her chance. But nothing is simple about bringing souls to Valhalla, and she soon finds herself embroiled in ancient rivalries and new friendships.

With more human souls in need of collection than ever before, Ylva and her classmates are about to get a crash course in death. Valkyrie 101 is book one of the Afterlife Academy: Valkyrie, an urban fantasy academy series with a lesbian romance.

The Afterlife Academy specializes in teaching paranormals how to help human souls pass onto the next phase, whether that's by guiding them gently, preparing them for rebirth, or cutting them loose with a scythe.

Part of becoming a Valkyrie includes learning how to:

  • Open the gates of Valhalla
  • Train your pet wolf
  • Harvest a soul
  • Earn wings
  • Die and come back from it

I have to say, at the beginning of story, I struggled with the blatant racism, rudeness and meanness without good reason. I really didn't like the main character, but I suggest you persist. This story is very much about accepting others that are a little different from us and also acknowledging the similarities between us. The main character soon learns to see and value those around her as she works on solving a mystery and gaining acceptance from her peers, those like and those a little different.

She certainly makes mistakes and has conflicting desires and goals.
I do think it's worth pushing past the racism and segregation as it doesn't last too long and I found I liked several characters, though I'm still not sure about the MC. I think I will have to listen to book 2 to find out.
The narration was great, no complaints about that.

Give this a Really good chance.
