The duel
Again the art style and the atmosphere are fantastic. And I can’t get enough of one of its great qualities—each soldier's outfit looks different. Also there are a few very beautiful landscapes.
Starts pretty slow, but eventually presents some very brutal action scenes of every kind, especially the long and really intense duel. And we get some more interesting background about Thorffin's father and Thorkell.
But there are a bit too many reaction shots and an unusual philosophy about love, not sure if it is needed here at all.
The ending is nice leading to some big events.
Can't wait to read the next volume!
