The read can be a little slow in the beginning, but things picks up later. He clearly accepts and adapts to the world to become a real barbarian. He's straight forward like the other barbarians but still be vigilant against others he deemed suspicious; thinking more for himself but gets misunderstood as love for his people.I've read a little ahead, he definitely embraces the barbarian's style of strength, power, and dominance... against his enemies and women; he went Khal Drogo with one of his concubine (who isn't a princess).Overall....approve.
