This volume finds Thorfinn and crew finally traveling to Vinland. When they arrive there is a lot of work to do but one of the greatest challenges is communicating with the native people who live there already. You can tell the tension is building between the two parties, even though they are making a huge effort to live peacefully.I think as a reader that consistently reads many books, comics, manga or whatever, it is easy to dismiss the thoughts of the writer and just critique their works throwing some random rating to summarize a book's worth, but I found it insulting to the writer and better to me for my enjoyment as a reader is to accept a writer's thoughts/experiences and what they want to convey.

He defeats Bjorn and challenges Askeladd to a duel. After a fierce swordfight, Thors defeats Askeladd, but surrenders to save Thorfinn and his villagers. He is then slain by a volley of arrows. Having witnessed the death of his father, Thorfinn stows away on the captured ship and swears revenge against Askeladd.After following the guidance of now aged Leif Ericson, Thorfinn and those that have put their lives and destinies in his hands make the journey to Vinland at last. Along the way and while they are safe on land decisions must be made, squabbles must be solved, and associations must be created with the indigenous people that have already lived in Vinland already even though they do not share a language and differ in many ways. Still, I feel that this choice is more adequate for this kind of exposition and going direct head in on a mission gets to be a better hook for the reader than the exposition of a familial life.

I love that Thorfinn and his family are getting some peace and joy; Thorfinn really deserves this. This transition shows the growth Thorfinn has gone through from a hot-headed youth to an adventurous father. However, these last few volumes have been a lot less engaging and exciting than the earlier books in the series.

Opening like you would in an epic historical war film, there is an action sequence involving multiple armies, including a band of Vikings led by Askeladd, who takes advantage of the clashing between two Frankish groups. After the battle, in which Askeladd and his men revel in the treasures, a sixteen-year-old Viking boy named Thorfinn delivers the head of the French leader to Askeladd and in exchange, Thorfinn would get the chance to avenge his father’s death in a duel with Askeladd.Media Arts Database (in Japanese).
