Elsbeth Dagsdottir has not forgotten the oath her father made to her on that remote Icelandic beach: to deliver revenge upon the Forty Swords clan that burned their village and murdered her mother. It might take them a lifetime of strife, but it is a promise they are willing to die to keep.
Sword Daughter continues to be an engaging work in a kind of minimalist approach. It's got great layouts, a lot of detail, but an emptiness that works so well in evoking the right kind of mood for it. It's generally sparse in terms of dialogue but it conveys a lot when it does have the characters speak. A lot of things are simply unsaid and implied by actions and look and it's able to achieve that with a small cast very well. There's a lot to like with this series and each installment branches out in interesting ways, making me wish there were a couple dozen out already so I can just read a ton of it in one sitting.
