fter two weeks, Niamh returns from being held hostage by the Christian King of Michigan to talk about some banger saga chapters. We start things off getting immediately endeared to Kjartann as he flirts his way into King Ólafr's heart, then despairing as he returns home to find his foster-brother Bolli has married his #1 girl Guðrún, which subsequently causes everything to descend into just about as much drama and unnecessary murder as you might expect given Guðrún's deeply foreboding dream about the fate of her husbands. Honestly our favorite section of reading we've had on this show so far, this is that good saga shit.
