Reviews

""The discussions of transmediation are about to enter their adolescence and this book is a proof of this. It constitutes a fruitful dialogue between some of the seminal authors of transmedia studies to this day and as a whole makes a compelling case for not only the continuing importance of studying the complex storytelling practices of the convergence era, but demonstrates the many conflicts and tensions inherent to these practices as well as to the associated academic discourse."" - Indrek Ibrus, University of Tallinn, Estonia
