Welcome to CHAPTER 20 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 TEN chapters, or so, 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.Before we roll into Chapter 20, here’s a quick summary of what’s gone before:In Chapter 16, we were with Hodr — the son of Frigg and Odin — as he mucked out some stables and remembered the man, the warrior, he’d been.In Chapter 17, Frigg pulled double duty — damage control for her husband and as a Mom to Hermod.In Chapter 18, Vidar engaged the enemy…without and within…and it didn’t go well for him.In Chapter 19, Loki said goodbye to his wife and sons. Whatever they’re doing, they appear to have all taken sides against the Aesir.In this chapter, we’re back with Odin as he arrives at the battlefield outside Háls.Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter.
