Reviews for Endurance, the Graphic Novel Series

 The Frozen Keep: "The Heroic Age of Polar Exploration and the war that would change the world forever. The Frozen Keep is a worthwhile historical fiction read for teens and adults alike, especially those who are interested in historical narratives that emphasize characters and storytelling over simple recounting of facts." -No Flying, No Tights

The Beckoning Shore: "Sullivan continues to deliver a healthy dose of character work in resolving the fears and tensions of the characters, but the driving force of the book is purely the fight for survival. From encounters with wildlife to the harsh reality of being underequipped at the end of the world, Sullivan works to bring this point in history to life for the reader." -No Flying No Tights
