“The Sea Serpent's Heir is a fresh andterrifying take on growing up as a magical girl. Page after page is overflowingwith powerful, blade-wielding sorceresses, deep sea lovecraftian beasts, anddramatic, supernatural battles between mystical mages, ancient demons, andswaggering crews of spirited warriors. Even the illustration seems to emanatethe feeling of the ocean, itself, through the delicate, flowing linework andsea-glass colored worlds. It's a masterful blend of political high fantasy andgritty, other-worldly pirate lore that I highly recommend to anyone looking fora new adventure.” -MICHELLE FUS (AVA'S DEMON)
