The Prologue was more action oriented, the Farmland Saga was more drama... are we seeing this third part with more comedy? Personally I will not mind, Thorfinn and the gang suffered through a lot already >_<
I really liked Gudrid, don't get me wrong, but normally Yukimura characters feel more believable and not as straightforward as she appears right now, so I wasn't too much impressed about her. I hope that changes and she gets better with time ^^
Reading monthly for such a long time I still can't believe we are finaly going to Vinland hahah
