"Monstress is a sprawling epic fantasy that drops readers into the middle of a magic-filled alternate history. Described as a kind of 'matriarchal Asia,' Maika's universe is wracked by a race war and inhabited by violent witch-nuns, vicious deities, and innocent civilians-all of which is brought to life by Takeda's exquisite manga-style, Art Deco-inspired art." -The Atlantic
"Intricate and detailed, with a definite manga influence, Takeda's artwork creates a lush and dangerous world for Liu's equally dangerous characters. The work is infused with feminist themes; almost all of the characters are strong-and deadly-women.” -School Library Journal
“Filled to the brim with awesome.” -Kirkus Reviews
"Feels like a battle cry." -Vox.com
"In the center of this world is Maika, a girl who lost her mother and most of her left arm and is on a quest for answers or vengeance, whichever comes first. She's defensive, quick to anger, and not entirely convinced of her own sanity. In other words, she's a fictional woman imbued with all the faults and flaws of a real one." -New York magazine/Vulture
"Monstress mixes steampunk and fantasy in the best way." -Complex
