I wonder if this sequence is in response to the popularity of the 'dragon with reigns' illustration?
As always, this is a masterful sequence of illustrations. A girl rewritten into a giant toad is exciting! The visualization of remodeling the soul into a toad is unique and creative.
I prefer transformations where at least part of the identity remains. A death of identity defeats the point of a transformation. However, that is my personal opinion ^^;
