Once in a while you come across a story that just clicks all the buttons. Whether it be story, characters, art work, themes, or the unexplainable feels. Vinland Saga is one of those.
Back in the days, humans saw the world as vast, and the oceans as an insurmountable obstacle, beyond which lay nameless horrors, but with it hope and possibilities.
This tale captures that feeling of being stuck in a never ending downward spiralling cycle of war, and those few to dare to try and reach for something better, something different.
In doing so, it is part of a niche collection of works that make you sit up and take notice, and worse turn around the mirror and force you to reevaluate the life you're leading. And the burgeoning weight of centuries and the countless souls who lived and perished in it's thrall.

Những arc đầu thời niên thiếu của nhân vật chính thì nội dung khá đen tối, tuy vậy khi biến cố thứ 2 thay đổi con người cậu thì nội dung đã trở nên nhẹ nhàng hơn rất nhiều. Cảm nhận riêng của mình là đoạn sau hay hơn

¡Qué bueno! Me encanta el dibujo, la historia te atrapa desde el principio, hay una evolución de personajes que no tiene pinta de ser la clásica... Una maravilla y en una edición que ha quedado de lujo. Vale muchísimo la pena. Mención especial al pequeño homenaje a Vickie y toda su gente xD

So, this is a pretty intense first volume!
Set in the age of Vikings, this stories follows Thorfinn on his quest to avenge his father’s death. As a child, he witnessed his father’s death at the hands of mercenary, Askeladd. Now, Thorfinn serves Askeladd as a member of the man’s mercenary band. A ruthless warrior like his father before him, Thorfinn lies in wait for his chance at vengeance. Will he attain it? Or, is there more to his father’s death and to Askeladd’s actions? Is someone else pulling the strings?
Very engaging to read! Wonderful world-building! Looking forward to reading more!
