Reviewer Notes
It’s sad to say, but I’ve lost all interest in this title. I understand we are supposed to be reading an epic story arc that leads to some world-changing event, but with Torunn Grønbekk failing to identify people and places consistently throughout the series, it’s difficult to find a connection to the overall plot. It really has become random sword fighting in front of generic fantasy backgrounds.
What are the names of the dark-haired woman and little girl leading the trolls in this issue? I believe they called the girl “sister of Grace”, but not 100% certain. Is the girl a sister of Red Sonja as well, or is she called “sister” since she was at the nunnery in Emberfall? Was the nunnery even in Emberfall? See what I mean. With so many characters and locations, the reader needs a reference point.
I’m giving this issue two out of five stars. Dynamite needs to step up and provide a road map of sorts to help readers navigate their way through this mess. I’m surprised Red Sonja knows where she’s at this point in time.
