Editorial Reviews

Complete the Quest is part comic, part game, all joyous adventure: an inventive interactive story that rewards exploration ... a kind and clever guided tour of your own imagination.” —New York Times bestselling author Ryan North
“A bright, colorful comic ... A clear message of fighting intolerance and racism offers a wholesome frame for a magical world-saving mission. This is a warm, welcoming introduction to RPGs and collaborative storytelling.” —Kirkus Reviews
