As the story picks up I am definitely getting more of a sense of the potential of this series but I can't help but feel disappointed in some way. I think this comes from the fact that I've seen it compared to Berserk so many times to the point where it almost acts as a mark against the book because it isn't as good. I think the character dynamics and development are starting to get more complex in a way I enjoy but it's almost too little too late. Mostly, I am just bored by the battles and strategy conversation. I know that it is not a popular opinion but that will never be what is interesting about a story like this for me and that's most of what we're getting. I'm going to keep going and it is looking up, but I'm hoping for something to wow me soon.

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
“When [Vikings] took breaks from herding sheep or stood up to stretch their twisted backs after a session at the loon, did they wonder, ‘How will people live a thousand years in the future?’ I hope they did.” 

I like the final thoughts Yukimura leaves at the end of the volume.
