The illustrations by Carey Pietsch are absolutely brilliant. Every time I turned the page I was in awe of her work. Her visualizations are so suited to the story that these guys have created. This arc of The Adventure Zone: Balance was the most difficult one for me to visualize, but with Pietsch's artwork everything made much more sense.
While they, unfortunately, had to exclude so much of the arc to fit what was necessary into a single graphic novel, they did it well. Once I picked it up, I didn't put it down. I was thoroughly captivated. When I finished, I was pleasantly surprised that Pietsch included pages on how she illustrated everything from the cover to the characters and environments. Thank you, Pietsch, because I was questioning that the entire way through.

there's some uh SNAKES! and then the book's full of snakes, and you drown in snakes. it's all snakes. it's snakes all the way down. j.j. abrams wanted to take all this stuff out because it's real heavily laden with snakes and it becomes hard to follow because our heroes become snakes, and they are all married to snakes, and they use snakes as weapons! they eat snakes for fuel, and they become snake robots for a while. it's very confusing, got rid of most of the snakes. there's still a lot of snakes, but i mean, there's just a regular amount of snakes for the adventure zone, which, for one thing, is still an enormous amount of snakes.
