Vinland Saga

 

Vinland Saga Vol.1 by Makoto Yukimura

467 pages

As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west. But his youthful fantasies were shattered by a mercenary raid on the way to war. Raised by the Vikings who murdered his father, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band's leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father. Memories of his father and pride in his remaining family as well as the search for Vinland keep Thorfinn on a path of revenge.

Over all I enjoyed this volume. The pace of the story is consistent and well written and the artwork is lovely (when there isn't blood 😅). I do wish it had started at the beginning instead of starting at the present day child and then flashing back for the last 3/4ths of the book, but that is just my personal preference.
