Close to another 4 for this series but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it as much as the first. This title takes a father and daughter trying to survive being hunted. This sounds like a perfect story for me. I love family bonding and trying to survive so why didn't I love this? A story about a man just trying to protect his daughter from savages while mercicelly murdering others in defense? Sounds like a win for James.

What I liked: The viciousness of the father never feels like he kills for pleasure (except one part) and I liked that. I also enjoyed that the people chasing him aren't so "bad" but they are the other side of the story. The people trying to survive and make a living by hunting this Irish father and daughter. I also enjoyed the ending as I don't like all my stories ending "happy ever after". This one don't play that shit. And the artwork is still very solid.

What I didn't like: some of the characters didn't connect with me. I liked the father, but didn't love him. The twist was also easy to see coming. It did catch me slightly off guard cause of the way it was shown but the idea I caught in the first issue. I also thought it was too short as compared to the first volume.

Overall Northlanders is still very very entertaining. While this is weaker than the last volume it still makes me eager to continue. If this is the worst of the bunch, which I hear it is, I'm in for a real treat!
