This one I liked less than the first one. I felt like there was some parts that weren't well explain and that just happened for the sake of happening. Too much deus ex machina for my taste.
Also the character who's coded as jewish... yeah, that's not a great look. Draw him differently at least, so that we cannot recognize the antisemitism please.
And I didn't like the whole thing with Percevan going to bed with this woman for no reason plotwise, with the usual "you're so pretty, you're so great, I'll miss you, yadi yada" while he won't think of her ever again. That stuff is b o r i n g. A hero can be great without having to seduce his way into women's panties for the sake of conquest as a feat of his greatness and whatnot.
I liked the wink at Astérix, which was crystal clear this time (in the church). I felt like this 2nd volume was a bit lite fantasy wise and I wanted more of that. That being said, I liked how Kervin's horse is now a minor character with a personality.
Even though this one didn't do it for me, I'll keep going because I remember other volumes being great and never got to finish the series. But if I was a reader back then and just started with this one and the one before, I wonder if I would have continued or not based on this conclusion and the stuff still unresolved on top of the overall feeling of this second part. The hook at the end is maybe a bit weak.

The conclusion of the Ingaar storyline.
It’s a back and forth race as the baron and Percevan vie for the crown. Nothing much supernatural this time around, and the climax is a bit underwhelming. The author promised trolls, kobolds, elves, but they never show up.
SPOILER
After some perfunctory scenes with a cheating gambler, Percevan hunts for the location of the tomb of Ingaar, His clue is the standing stone of God, who turns out to be St. Peter, a charming Catholic riddle. This whole sequence is very well done, and reminiscent of Indiana Jones and the last crusade’s Venetian tomb sequence. To the point that I wonder if Percevan may have inspired it.
The baron’s gratuitous treachery proves to be his comeuppance, as the dark wizard switches sides and comes back to turn the tide in the climactic battle.
