Unfortunately it did disappoint me. I write unfortunately, because I was a huge fan and collector of Thorgal comic books as a child. The story defend itself, obviously but the writing, oh the writing, annoyed me the most. It is full of short, simple sentences - something that is logic in comic book but does not work well in a fantasy book. I'm pretty much sure that I will read next part, but I guess this was the idea, to get fans of Thorgal to go and buy this book. ;)
