I was very impressed by the historical setting and eye for detail, the underlying story at first appeared to be one of bloody vengeance, but the MC makes such a drastical turn in character that i found it hard to continue during later chapters (around 90-ish chapters in).

It's not that the story isn't engaging, it's just, such a far cry from how it started off that the MC just isn't as engaging to follow anymore, to me at least.

I came in hoping to find the Norse counterpart to "Kingdom", but was in that regard; dissapointed.

Vinland Saga is well-drawn, very compelling in the first 60--70 chapters, but loses it's footing and quickly becomes far too preachy; will try to pick it up again later...
