The Forty Swords catch up to Dag and Elsbeth, and a battle is fought on two fronts: the father fights for his daughter's future, and an old man's freedom is paid for in blood.
Overall, I thought that this was a powerful ending to the first arc. Ive really enjoyed the developments that weve seen throughout Sword Daughter, especially the relationship between Dag and Elsbeth. This is a beautifully drawn comic with a poignant and powerful story. A truly unique Viking revenge saga that I highly recommend. Read Full Review
I continue to enjoy the heck out of Sword Daughter and this issue is no exception, even with missing the previous installment. There's a lot to like in story, character, and artwork for the book as it works a good minimalist approach but one with wonderful layouts and detail so that it feels realistic and lived in where it needs to be. The father and daughter journey takes some darker turns here in past and future storylines and I'm excited to see what comes next, all while wanting to know more about the adult Elsbeth and what she's like after the journey so far. Definitely recommended. Read Full Review
The payoff could have been a bit stronger with a little more time spent emotionally investing readers in Elsbeth and Dag, but the thematic resonance is strong. Read Full Review
