Uh, well that reunion certainly didn't go as I thought it would. Still, it was quite a satisfying chapter just as it was supposed to be. Ylva had to take care of the family as the "man", so she's furious as a bear haha.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I do not like the way that this story is going. Like Thorfinn was this total badass fighting machine and then two years pass and he looks like a withering old man. I thought it was cool that he was acting all incognito and suppressed his urges to fight and I was hoping that he was gonna be forced to have to go absolutely berserk like he did at the end of the first arc...
Now it kind of feels like this story is going in a direction where Thorfinn is trying to end all of war and create a land of peace... Like I thought it was gonna be Thorfinn vs. Canute for the remainder of the series. Like Thorfinn builds himself up from slavery and creates an anarchist resistance group to overthrow Canute's abuse of power. I just don't like the way that this story is going, but I am probably going to continue reading it.
