Oct 26, 2021I completely missed this series when it first came out, but I am glad to have found it with this reprint omnibus edition. This is a wonderfully told adventure story. I was fully drawn in by the end of the first chapter. Most of this omnibus is a flashback to Thorfinn's youth, so it was a really interesting narrative journey to start with Thorfinn as a young adult and then get to his backstory pretty quickly. This story is also beautifully illustrated with some amazing historically accurate details about the Viking's villages and ships. Every panel is full of details of characters and their surroundings.
