A peerless story of bloodshed, revenge, and humanity. There is nothing like it.

“Lucius Artorius Castus”

The closing of one door....the opening of another.

Concluding the War/prologue arc with nail biting political maneuvering amongst the King was just as nerve racking as the first time, seeing the disaster coming. Askellad was a brilliant man, and his cruel but necessary lesson to Thorfinn would haunt him for all his days.
What do you do when your lifelong dream has been taken from you???
As we enter the infamous slave arc, we get a new pov character in Einar, and he and a lifeless Thorfinn must tend to land. A entire arc about back breaking physical labor isn't as scintillating as a war arc, but it's asking important questions about life and the will to live. The politics of it as well are going to carry it going forward, as these men try to work their way out of slavery.

Askeladd is the GOAT. Askeladd's master plan finally realised, however at the cost of his own life. his dying words to his sworn enemy? "don't become me"

Askeladd master plan killed his only friend, wiped out his army, and raped and pillaged city after city, and Askeladd knew it was all petty bullshit. everyone is a slave to something, even Askeladd.

I think the motif of the father son relationship to be extremely powerful. thors and thorfin, swayne and cunute, even Askeladd and thorfin. fathers trying to pass down their knowledge, wisdom, to hopefully stop thorfin from going down the path he is so tirelessly walking. this story takes a great villain, flips it on his head, and makes an even better villain. I love this story so much but it will harder to read now that the GOAT is gone

Vinland Saga takes a hard left turn with its usual jarring combination of decompressed scenes with detailed explanations for every action, then big time jumps where the characters are completely different, leaving the reader to imagine the character development. I love the idea and Yukimura's dramatization of medieval culture, but I'm not sure I would love it if I weren't also reading Halldor Laxness to fill in the emotional gaps.

Every volume, this series reminds me more of Rurouni Kenshin: it's a philosophy delivery vehicle that gets sidetracked by also being a shonen battle manga. Let's see if the Farm Arc can change that.

Loved the wrap up of the first main era. The second era started slow and left me a little disconnected to the story. By the end of the book, things start to come together again and hopefully the transition to this new era will continue in the next volume with more explanation of how thorfinn ended up where he did.
This book, although well drawn and well written, has left me feeling a little bittersweet as the story itself is not exactly pleasant.

[Kyle Stabile · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another solid entry. The end of the prologue was good and Askeladd is one helluva character. The transition to Farmland saga is decent so far. I do need it to start building to something soonish. As of now it's just offering some pretty surface level commentary on slavery in general. Also all the cool extras at the end of each volume and the notes/insight from Yukimura are a really nice add-on. It elevates the books/series a bit more with them included.

[Austin St. Pierre · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is where the story really sets in. The prologue finds its conclusion, and Thorfinn is now left to decide who he truly wants to be, and what he will make of himself. His journey reaches some of its lowest emotional and personal points in this leg of the story, and Einar has not entered as a friend and companion. It continues to be a powerful story filled with depth in the world and characters.

[Davy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I know I know… can these all really be 5 stars… YES! Makoto Yukimura absolutely is crushing it with this series. The way that history and fiction are woven to create a truly interesting story is hard to beat. Can’t wait to see where our beloved Vikings end up next

[Jesus Flores · Rating 5 out of 5]

En la primer mitad llegamos a la "conclusión" de la historia de Canute y Askelad, buena historia y que seguro después regresa.

La segunda mitad es lo que sigue con Thorfinn que pues si es un cambio.

Sigue siendo muy buen manga

5 stars

[Allie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am becoming more and more obsessed with this series. Thorfin changes so much in this book. His world gets turned upside down, and canute turns into the man we all hoped he wouldn't. A pompous self righteous asshole who won't kill himself.

[Zachary Palmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This may be a perfect series

[Chris Patterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would love to give this series 4.5. Really enjoyed the time jump in the installment and intrigued to see where it goes. A lot less fighting and blood shed in the latter part of this book.

[Gabe P · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome

[Nunya · Rating 4 out of 5]

He might not have pulled that sword from a stone, but he sure wielded it like Excalibur when he killed the shit out of that hideous old fuck.

[untitled lullaby · Rating 5 out of 5]

These are so good but omg these books are so large and heavy and expensive to boot. Worth it.
