Trade Review“Decisively entertaining and deceptively complex.... Poignant scenes are interspersed with the high jinks fans of the series have come to expect, making this a
hugely fun, yet intensely thoughtful take on superheroics and new adulthood.” —
Publishers Weekly (starred)
“Interspersed between these high-octane scenes of relationship discovery are intense scenes dealing with the fallout of abandonment.... The emotional tension line was as involving as the magical one, and
I found Bea’s voice the most fun of the three books.” —Sherwood Smith, author of the Inda Series
“Kuhn imbues her books simultaneously with
great humor and real, raw emotion.... And then she amps it all up with superpowers, demonic forces, and rampaging architectural features.” —Cass Morris, author of
From Unseen Fire
“Finally accompanying Bea on her own journey is an honor and a privilege; a
hilarious, awkward, rocky, determined honor and privilege.” —Book Riot
“If you looked at Wasp in
Ant-Man and the Wasp and immediately
demanded more superheroines, then
Heroine’s Journey will definitely tickle your fancy.” —Culturess
“These are the superhero books that I would want to live in—with
awesome women supporting each other, great representation, fun plots and even a touch of romance!” —All Things Urban Fantasy
“Bea is easy to adore. She’s
brilliant, bold, and a butt-kicking heroine in her own right.... Kuhn is brilliant at balancing popcorn thrills with more weighty storylines, and I loved every bit of it.” —Wit and Sin
“
Heroine’s Journey is particularly timely because Bea...is
facing the struggles so many of us do, foremost of which is attempting to find herself amidst the chaos of family and career and love and life.” —The Roarbots

the cognitive equivalent of a warm hug, a blanket, a kitty, and the best pajama pants I own.” —Confessions of a Curator, Editor, Geek
“This story will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with being taken seriously by those they love.... As with the first two of the series, this one is a tasty
