At long last, it is time to put Grettir's Saga on trial. Does the fight atop a whale carcass have enough appeal to win Best Bloodshed? Will Grettir's Saga break the Body Count record currently held by Eyrbyggja Saga? Will Andy and John outlaw Grettir or take him on as thingman? Does Andy finally decide whether Grettir's Saga is better or worse than Gisli's Saga? And will John ever stop talking about Nicknames? This saga is full of memorable moments, witticisms, and wonders, which is why this judgment section ended up being so long. But don't worry, there's plenty to laugh about and plenty to learn here. We hope you enjoy this conclusion to Grettir's Saga as much as we enjoyed making it. The journey's been long, but well worth the time spent. We'll get to the Saga Brief about Grettir and Beowulf sometime soon. For now, we need a break from this saga. It's on to the Saga of the Greenlanders next and then Finnbogi the Mighty. Until then!
