Rúben CalvinhoRúben Calvinho: Gostei de ter chegado exatamente na data inicial prevista (demorou cerca de 2 semanas desde a compra) e sendo um presente para alguém fiquei um pouco triste de não haver a opção de oferecer como presente.
Tirando isso a qualidade é excelente, não chegou danificado e fiquei satisfeito com a compra.

Caden M.: the book is good

Jason: The contents of the book are nothing short of amazing. However, there were a few issues with the condition of the book. The clear "laquer" (for lack of a better term) coating on the book had a few piercings on it, and the glue in the spine is extremely brittle. When I open this book to read it, the cracking sounds are significantly louder than my other Vinland Saga omnibuses. Typically this precedes pages falling out in hardcover books but I've been reading this book a lot and the rest of the book is in great condition, doesn't seem like pages will fall out any time soon.

Chris: Book arrived immaculate. Not a scratch on the hardcover, no ripped pages, and packaged relatively safe.

As for the book itself, Vinland Saga is amazing. The lands of Scandinavia and England are beautifully drawn, and the realities of medieval Europe are harsh and brutal. There's even pieces of history from the time period thrown in to give backstory. I highly enjoyed the first volume, so I look forward to continuing this historical adventure.

Five stars!!

Eli: As a fan of Nordic mythology/history and simultaneously a fan of manga this was right up my alley. The characters and their development is nothing short of amazing and combined with the breathtaking art this book is definitely worth your time. The incorporation of the old English slang and traditions acts as a cherry on top for the masterpiece of this manga. If you’re a fan of vagabond or any detailed-art oriented manga I cannot recommend this enough.
10/10 (I’ve only gave 2 mangas this high of a score)

Wayne: Got into this manga after seeing the anime, and the second volume is basically the second half of the 24 episode first season of the anime. After fleeing with the young prince and trying to get back to Denmark and the king, you begin to see all the threads of Askelads plan begin to come together only to come apart in the end. Looking forward to volume three. One thing that I really like about this collected volume is that all the books are in hardcover with this iteration of the releases. Would recommend only the hardcover versions due to durability of the books.

Karissa Eckert: This is the second omnibus in the Vinland Saga historical manga series. I continue to be blown away by the incredible artwork, wonderful characterization, and excellent story in this series.

Askeladd and his band of warriors continue rampaging through England and end up in battle with London where they meet the rather viciously hilarious Thorkill. We also meet Prince Canute whom Askeladd decides to go on a mission and rescue in order to win the Danish King Sweyn’s favor. Whoever holds Prince Canute holds the keys to both the thrones of England and Denmark and Askeladd has large ambitions.

We also get a lot more backstory on Thorfinn. We find out some of the things he had to do when he was younger to survive and how he lost his family. Thorfinn is a fantastic character that is hard not to love.

The addition of Thorkill was awesome...he is so enthusiastically evil and such an awesome fighter. Prince Canute is another interesting addition to the story.

There is a ton of war and action in this volume. We see a lot of the horrors of war (there is also quite a bit of swearing, rape, and dismemberment) so I would recommend for adult readers only.
