I’m glad to finally see the crew in Vinland making a go of it. I really appreciate that the author did so much research about the Mi’kmaq people and showed their perspective to European arrival. The scene of the elder having a vision of what was to come
ending in a nuclear bomb explosion
was really powerful. I’m very curious to see how things progress with the Mi’kmaq. History tells us the Vikings didn’t stay in North America so I wonder how the author is going to cover that.

Based on the cover I honestly thought this would be the final volume. Turns out there is still more to go, which is perfectly ok with me! This one was just as great as the others, I am really enjoying seeing Thorfinn's plans paying off.

I think the interactions with the Native Americans, which could have been really poorly done, were actually really great. They are given diverse goals and personalities. The depiction of their culture and language felt really well handled too. In the afterword, the author mentioned how he consulted with scholars and tribe leaders for the tribe depicted, which really paid off.

Overall, just more amazing Vinland Saga!
