Review

This graphic novel is about a lord that becomes a hero to the local people. It has a Viking feel to it and lots of fighting. The drawings are all in black and white which adds to the feel of the book. But the drawings of the actual characters looked a lot alike I thought which made it hard to tell some of the characters apart. I also felt like the story jumped around and did not hold my interest. My student reader that I discussed this book with (a 7th grader that reads every graphic novel he can get his hands on) just gave it an ok rating as well. It might be great for Conan the Barbarian fans but for other graphic novel enthusiasts, it might be just an "ok" read.

Overall Book Score: good
