Oh boyyyyy this book was wild. Absolutely loved the tension and the court politic-ing and

holy hell Guts leaving and Griffith not letting him go without a fight and then immediately getting dunked on and Guts' relationship with Casca developing! So much and so cool

!
I am very interested in seeing how things develop after that ending for suuure.

2024 reread
Aaaah what a fucking TIME!

The duel between Guts and Griffith and Casca and Guts' relationship developing and everything ahhh - so fucking GOOOOOD. Also someone said "maybe losing an arm'll wake his ass up" and like, bro you ain't wrong when Guts does lose and arm at really does happen at Quite The Time For Everyone HahAhahA
