The Wandering Inn is arguably my favorite series of all time. This however didn’t quite work for me - choppy transitions, choppy dialogue segments, not a lot of movement from page to page. Some panels are very dark and hard to see. This is not a criticism of Pirateaba - their writing came through very strong. I just think all the pieces didn’t quite glue together.

As the first installment of Pirateaba's world in graphic novel form, specially if you already love their universe, it's fascinating. I hope to see more and more books coming in the future.

An interesting corner of the Innverse - digging the edge of the world and the mystery of the creatures coming up from the void. That being said, the transitions between panels was a bit clunky and the animation style wasn't my cup of tea. Quick read and overall enjoyable. Will read the next book when it drops.

I liked it! It's a short, sit-down read, the art is pretty stunning (and a really cool way to bring Pirateaba's story to life), but as a result of the brevity, it's a very short glimpse. I think I will love part two, because this set up the groundwork well, and I'm ready to dive into a meatier story at the end of the world.

Good way to start 2021!

A short graphic novel set in the world of The Wandering Inn, it features a new character in a completely different location from all the other stories. A Filipino girl is magicked away from our world to a desolate island at the very edge of the world.

This is a fun start to a new story ARC in the Wandering Inn universe! With a totally new character a Filipino Girl Solca Vis whose now trapped on an island, just like Erin Solstice, and Ryoka Griffin on the continent! I always felt that pirateaba work cried out for a graphic format, and I was right visually, The Last Tide is stunning!
I also loved the overall and appearance in general and wanted to compliment the publisher Cloudscape for the book! I know in part this was due to the kickstarter's success as each stretch goal was met! But seriously I loved the graphic novel and then the inclusion of pirateaba actual prose, the short story... So in the book we get both the story and the adaptation! Simply Marvelous!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

I love Pirateaba's writing they know how to craft characters and for me that's the most important part of a good fantasy story, the other ingredient necessary for me is and interesting world and the Innverse has that in spades. I can't wait for volume two of the graphic novel to see where the story goes from here.

[Shane Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a solid side story which added a bit of visual flair to the work of one of my favorite authors. I think it could also work as a gentle introduction to the world of "The Wandering Inn", but I think it is a slow enough start that it might not hook a reader into picking up the main work, which is at the moment just a hair under 12 million words long.

I was having Wandering Inn withdrawals when I remembered that this existed. It's not quite the same as reading about Erin and company, but it is a new way to experience the world of the Wandering Inn and I'm glad I gave it a try.

[Sharon Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great side story from The Wandering Inn World. I loved the artwork and the story was a good set up for the characters and this part of the world. I’m hoping there will be more to come from this story as it finished on a cliffhanger

[Quinten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very fun read, beautiful art and a glimpse at a new part of this world while still it feels very connected to the rest of the world that was built previously!

Do not read this and think its any other than a very tiny glimpse of the wandering inn.
I lovvveee this series. But this short form is just that. Short and not nearly as enjoyable as the series.
