The Sunken Tower is original, funny and will attract a wide range of readers. I do not read graphic novels often but this one I was able to get through in one sitting - the story and characters kept me engaged and looking forward to the next page. Very enjoyable - 4 stars

Thrown into a dungeon, he's left to feel sorry for himself. But his new cellmates, Iana and Crina, are ecstatic about Dig's appearance. He's a wizard, which means he knows magic, which means he can help get them all out of this terrible sunken city for good! If Iana can get her hands on a sword, and Crina can remember the way to the giant tower that leads to the surface, then everything will go smoothly. That is, until the Blood Cultists catch up with them, and Dig's magical abilities are put to the ultimate test. Because Dig's been keeping a secret. And if it's found out... he may never see the surface again.… (mehr)
