This volume is great, that said it’s a thick, middle section of the War in the Baltic arc. Garm is a great new antagonist, Thorkell and Sigurd get a great dynamic between them. Thorfinn’s put through a ringer. The situations that everyone get into put them through the ringer. Everyone colliding is what makes this volume great.

This volume really hits on the dichotomy between those fully invested in engaging with War and Violence with those that just want to live free of the turmoil war causes basic life. There is some decapitations, impalements, arrow injuries, stabbings, and a person being destroyed by catapult ammunition.
