This is my review of the June Saga Book Club pick, The Saga of the Volsungs, which is also known as Völsunga Saga. This Saga was written anonymously, and the translation that I read is by Jesse L. Byock - it's easy to read and modern, unlike the William Morris and Eiríkur Magnússon, which is much more archaic (though that does add a certain charm to it too).

In this video, I talk about the appearances of Odin, Women and Witchcraft, things that inspired or have parallels with J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, revenge and the theme of inescapable fate.
