This episode is a direct sequel of the previous, however, it also lets us know how Norse came to be like he is.

The writing’s great, Gladstone sure knows when to change the POV and how to twist things up.

Character wise, we get to know more about Norse and learn about a different side of Asanti.

When it comes to story, this is an action-packed episode that answers a lot of questions.

Overall, I loved it and can’t wait to read more.

Rating: 5 stars
