4.0
4 STARS
CW: abuse, racism, bullying, assault, violence, blood
Solely story-wise, this would probably be more of a 3-star read but the Mighty Nein are so dear to me and I love them all so much, I couldn't give this any lower than 4 stars. The art style was beautiful and I loved the framing of M9 seeing the Tide's Breath and Fjord remembering his origins. That also caused the ending to be more uplifting after all the traumatic events Fjord recounted.
Additionally, I really loved the reference to the animated title sequence of Campaign 2.

5/5 Stars. The Fjord Graphic Novel was amazing and I love how Travis continues to break toxic masculinity stereotypes with his characters. Also really loved how Fjord thought his story was meant to end with tragedy but meeting Jester made him realize his story was only starting.

Was really excited to see more of Fjord’s backstory, but it ended up being a complete disappointment and my least favorite in the series so far.

interesting how this book had so many pages dedicated to the present moments so fjord’s story is told through a flashback
