I feel a bit mixed on this volume. On one hand I really appreciated some of the conversations happening between Hild and Thorfinn and seeing Thorfinn have to directly confront some of his past relationships. I also like seeing the clear care that Yukimura takes in his research, as shown in his volume notes. On the other hand, goofy characters like Thorkell and Garm really undercut the desperate tone of the rest of the story. On a personal level I really do not engage with the battle scenes as well. I also wish that we could get some more direct engagement with King Canute's perspective so he could feel like a true foil to Thorfinn, though I think Floki is providing an interesting outlet for that aspect of the story.
