REVIEWS
“If it is possible, Sara B. Elfgren and Karl Johnsson have managed to outdo themselves. Observing the bar set by Vei: Vol. 1 which was an immensely good read, somehow this team manages to top it with the closure to their exciting tale. If you weren’t a fan of Norse Mythology — you are now. 5/5”
