Also, ive been thinking, back in like chapter 2 or something when Thorfinn talked to that slave he said if he was a slave he would kill his master and run away. Foreshadowing?



Interesting...

I dont remember that though. Was it that slave when Thorfinn was little and Thors helped this slave who ran away or was it before those chapters?

After Askelad's death, Thorfinn has got nothing to do, his life ambition ended, but to the point of being a slave? Unexpected!!

Things have taken an unexpected turn. What happened with Thorfinn?

It was in the second chapter, page 37 of the chapter, 125 of the volume. Hes talking to the slave of the town leader in the place Askelad's group stopped after the raid to spend the winter. Thorfinn says "I'm not like you! I wouldn't know how a slave feels! If i was you, I'd kill Grom and run away! And kill all my pursuers!"



This was before the section with Throfinn as a kid.

WOW! Really good. I actually loved it.

This will surely get better. I think it's good that the author places Thorfinn in this situation since it brings more depth to him.



true. I loved the double twist in the plot.

I think Thorfinn snapped when askeladd died...probably lost his savage side when he died. Cant wait for the next one!

Interesting development, that's for sure.

I'm hoping this new slave guy that's now joining Thorfinn doesn't remain the narrator/main character though. This chapter just gave me this feeling that that is going to be the case...
