Clan wars are always interesting. But with this particular one I'm kind of annoyed that the family at fault just will not put an end to the war by punishing the one person responsible. I also don't get how this random third clan is somehow able to make both clans do something. But Tristan is probably the brother I was most excited for since he seemed the most mellow, and Merida seemed cool. But a lot of the conflict between couples in this series just seems to boil down to whether the bride is loyal to her birth clan or new clan. But I guess that's part of the arranged marriage/political marriage trope.
