Welcome to Gaia! ::

I found it quite to the contrary. In addition to what I felt was a shallow explanation of the gods, I found the chapter on ethics to have a very poor grasp of the historical attitudes of Norse Pagans, and I felt like it was a set up to advance the personal abuses that the author has carried out in their real life.

There is nothing in any of the lore to support the Nine Noble Virtues as a framework for Norse Ethics, especially since many of them are heavily influenced by Protestant morality. I feel this is either an intentional deception giving the preface about Christian moral systems, or a very poorly researched book. Under either of which conditions I could not recommend it.

Lastly, I have concerns about anyone who inject a cattle syringe's worth of salt water into someone's chest.
