Reviews:

“Verse's rich drawings and colours beautifully illustrate a complicated, engaging fantasy world filled with sympathetic characters. I can't wait to learn more about them as their journey continues!" -- Faith Erin Hicks ― "The Nameless City" - Comics Creator, Writer, Artist

"VERSE is an intricately woven story of magic, mystery and unforgettable characters with lushly illustrated worlds. You’ll want more and more." -- Victoria Ying ― Illustrator - "Diana Princess of the Amazons," "I Kissed Alice," and more!

"Verse is the sort of book you spend hours pouring over, even after the first read. Every single page is a visual delight – I lingered on every panel and relished every page-turn. Sam expertly crafts a sprawling world full of gripping characters and thrilling stakes that transported me to another dimension– it's the kind of book I would have devoured as a teenager, and certainly still love now." -- Hannah Templer ― Artist - "Cosmoknights"

I really love the illustrations in this book! The art is so clean and the colors fit together so perfectly! Characters were drawn with enough distinction that I didn't have to worry about accidentally mixing them up, which I do sometimes in other books. The characters were intensely interesting! I enjoyed them while reading the first book and I truly grew to love and respect these characters in the second book. They're unique and constantly keep me on my toes waiting to see what they'll do next. This is a rich world full of intrigue and twists and interesting characters. It's a world that draws you in and tries to cling to you as you attempt to leave. Two books in and I'm waiting to see where this story goes next.
