Jacques continues his journey through the heart of Iceland, still looking for answers to questions even he doesn’t quite understand. However, he unknowingly leaves behind a trail of disasters and tragedies that strike everyone he’s come close to. 

Pursued first by vengeful men, then by the authorities, he eventually arrives in a village where he finds a rocky formation that … he’s dreamed of long before touching down on the island …

I think that I wrote, regarding volume 1, that the art "grows on you". No. The story is good and there is some nice artwork but I cannot bear those deformed jheads.  It is a style a lot of people are using and it's origins seem to lie in animated series from the early 2000s  you can still find it today. I was hopeful because the cover looks lovely.

Sadly, the heads detract from all the other nice artwork -tghough I understand quite a lot of people like this I am not a fan.
