Vol. 1 The Stonekeeper ~ Well, this has definitely caught my attention. Interesting characters, intriguing premise, fascinating world buckling, beautiful art. I can certainly see why so many people like this series.

Vol. 2 Stonekeeper’s Curse ~ I enjoyed this volume a bit more than the first. In part, most likely, because things are making sense now that some explanations were provided.

Vol. 3 The Cloud Searchers ~ A fun romp that moves the story onward, with increasing complexities to backstories and motivations, but still maintains its whimsical origins.

Vol. 4 The Last Council ~ This series certainly doesn’t shy away from the cliches of either children’s literature or epic fantasy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly does make for a predictable read.

Vol. 5 Prince of the Elves ~ Some wonderful, and long overdue, background material. Our antagonist gets some depth and it helps develop some of the protagonists as well. A definite improvement.

I'm really enjoying this YA graphic novel series! I picked it up on the recommendation of my nephew. I wanted to read more of what he likes so we can talk about it. So far his rec skills are fire!

The plot is genuinely exciting. Each installment pushes it forward into fresh ideas and new locations. I'm very interested in the stones and how their story will play out with the lead characters. Although, at times, the plot moves so quickly it doesn't provide much information in transition. I've had to back up a few times to make sure I didn't miss anything. (But I doubt that's something many kids would care about!) Overall, the story is compulsively readable with a cliffhanger to finish off each installment. So I certainly can't stop now!

The artwork is gorgeous! The scenes are lush, the characters are well defined, and the fantasy elements are so inventive. Many times I have paused to simply stare at the page's art. It's becoming one of my favorite parts of this series.

So far, I'm loving it. Looking forward to finishing out this great story.

[Jex Merrill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great! now I don't have to do reviews for each Individual book! Amulet Is one of my favorite series of all time, and I'm super hyped about the 8th and 9th book. This is just 1-5, I have read 1-7, so this is basically a way for me to write about the series in general. I love the images and colorful meaningful pictures that tell the story. It is cool to find Easter eggs in the background. The cartoonish characters
but realistic background. It is amazing
