I have to say that this volume was a lot better than the other Grendel Tales volume I recently read. The story was more fast paced, and it was a bit easier to follow. Overall, there are two stories of war in this volume. Goran's tale, the second one, has some very moving and emotional moments that show not only a plot but character. Once you start it, you pretty much have to go on until the end; it grabs you. Overall, this was a pretty good read. ( )

An excellent work in the Grendel Tales saga. This is a story in apart from any others of war torn country with short alliances. The land is held by many different grendel clans, until the empire moves into the region. This book follows quite a few different characters filled with suspense, sadness, and joy. The story is good with great characters that you can feel for, despite the short length of the book. The artwork is great in a typical comic fashion. I personally prefer the more fine art style, but I have this is better than a lot of others I have seen. Great quick read, 4.5/5 ( )
