Interesting mash up of stories and styles. Certainly worth a look if you like Vikings/Conan/Sword and Sorcery

Interesting, but not my type of book. I can see this book appealing to a younger generation.

Barbarian Lord is an epic quest graphic novel. Fans of mythology will enjoy this addition to that genre. Full of action, fascinating black and white scenes transform this book into serious eye catching goodness. Readers will enjoy the lyrical language and blood thirsty plot. While readers can easily experience the saga through the illustrations, the ballad like verses of the Barbarian Lord are well worth the read.
So far, there are 3 volumes in this exciting series. It is up the reader to determine if Barbarian Lord is villain or hero. The Barbarian Lord is a series that has many readers. Read all three volumes. Follow the saga of the hero/villain. Share.
This series will work well for middle grades tweens.

It was a good story and definitely for those that are interested in medieval warriors, but I found how the characters spoke a little hard to follow sometimes. I think the same confusion would be found in middle and high school readers, also.

i chose a book by its cover (usually a winning formula for great graphic novels). i love the idea of bringing back an Icelandic folktale in a modern format, difficult names to pronounce and all! it's a short story, fun to read, incorporates bird communication (so cool) and i'd highly recommend it.

I received this book as a part of the Goodreads First reads giveaway. Such a great graphic novel. This book is a nice introduction to kennings, Norse mythology, and skaldic poetry. The illustrations are fabulous. This graphic novel would be great for anyone interested in battle, mythology, or really any middle-grade reader. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it would be a great addition to any middle school English curriculum.

While the art was fascinating, I thought the dialogue was a bit... stilted. But when your characters resemble vikings of old, I suppose talk was fairly straight to the point.
