I liked the rainbow train idea. I loved the illustrations and how there are drawings on every page. A good story on friendship and how friends help friends. I enjoyed the humor, especially at the wishing well.
This book continued where the first book left off. Amelia learned that the King's wife and Prince Tangine's mother disappeared in Glitteropolis and have volunteered to help find her along with her friends Grimaldi and Florence. Amelia and her gang were creatures of the dark and where they need to go was located with creatures of the light. Armed with a map and disguises because the light feared the dark and vice versa, but upon arrival at the wishing well, their map got ruined and a the King shrunk into a bumblebee. Now the gang not only needed to find Prince Tangine's mom but also needed to find his dad.
Amelia Fang and the Unicorn of Glitteropolis (aka Amelia Fang and the Unicorn Lords) was well written and illustrated. I have read book 1 and 2 because they were a two books in one; however, I saw on Goodreads that there were 8 books to the Amelia Fang series. I do recommend everyone to read this series. It can either be a Halloween read or not because book 2 had unicorns, fairies, and leprechauns! I like this book for the rescue, a bit tricky as Amelia and her friends had to think as they go when they encounter trouble.

My spoiler-free reading vlog of the entire Amelia Fang series: https://youtu.be/YeypPeXDGho
This was even better than the first Amelia Fang book!
In Amelia Fang and the Unicorn Lords, we follow our crazily loveable gang as they venture into the SCARIEST PLACE EVER KNOW - Glitteropolis! They’re on a mission to find out what happened to Prince Tangine’s missing mother and they stumble upon a huge conspiracy that could change EVERYTHING in their world.
There’s an adventure element to this one that I absolutely love as Anderson expands Amelia Fang’s world. I love seeing what’s beyond Nocturnia, and traversing the Kingdom of the Light proved to be quite a thrill! I love seeing the characters develop and it’s funny to see how they get out of their bizarre situations. I love little details like ladybird phones and rainbow trains and, wow, I can’t praise enough the level of imagination that goes into creating Amelia Fang’s world.
And the illustrations are still AMAZING!! Can’t wait to see what’s next for our gang. Into book 3 we go...

This follows on from the first book in the Amelia Fang series; “Amelia Fang and Barbaric Ball.” This introduced readers Amelia and her family – her father, Count Drake the Third, her mother, Countess Frivoleeta, her pet pumpkin, Squashy, and the rest of her household. Amelia, and her family, live in Fang Mansion, in Nocturnia, the City in the Kingdom of the Dark, complete with Nocturnia Palace, Rickety Residences, Catacome Academy and various other creepy looking places.This book has eighteen short chapters, is just over 200 pages long and is packed with black and white illustrations. As such it will appeal to confident readers, who are ready to embark on slightly longer books.
In this adventure, Amelia, and her friends, head to the Kingdom of the Light, in order to rescue Queen Fairyweather, Tangine’s mother. This book has unicorns, of course, who seem to be eternally popular with young children, as well as other fairytale characters, such as leprechauns and talking wishing wells. A really fun story, with good characters and lots of adventure. My daughter looks forward to reading on in the series. The next book will be, “Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief.” My daughter wanted to mention that she loved the cover and the recipe at the end of the book, which was a nice extra.

Una historia infantil dulce e inocente con temática spooky. Esta segunda parte estuvo muy linda, no veo la hora de leérselo a mi sobrinita, quien, por cierto, también se llama Amelia (¿se los había dicho en la reseña del libro anterior? cómo saber...), y es un poco vampirita.

Avanture Amelije i njene ekipe se nastavljaju. Ovog puta su izostali detalji koji su me mučili u prvoj knjizi (odustni/nezainteresovani roditelji), a ono što imamo pred nama je realno prilično ozbiljan YA distopijski zaplet vrlo uspešno obrađen kroz prizmu literature za mnogo mlađe čitaoce. Iako je bilo mnogo manje razloga za kikotanje (nema frapea od znoja niti slinavih noseva za grickanje), tu je Flora Grozomora kao i dalje ključna i (meni bar) omiljena ličnost, dok smo knjigu protutnjali sa podjednakim uživanjem kao i prvu, i sa nestrpljenjem očekujemo da se dokopamo nastavka.

I didn't like it as much as the first book.
There are too few dark things from Nocturnia. The ones that makes this series hilarious.
Stick to the dark side, Amelia!!!

My daughter Luna's favourite book in the series.
Amelia and friends are on a mission to find Glitteropolis, the shiny, sparkly city home to the creatures of light. Filled with unicorns, angel kittens and fairies it's the stuff of daymares for any creature of darkness. However, when magical creatures of light start going missing, Amelia and her friends must get to the bottom of the mystery in order to save their new friends.
This was just as much fun as the first Amelia Fang book, and I can see why my daughter loves this one the most. It's full of glitter and sparkly animals and creatures sprinkled with humour and adventure. Amelia and her friends are such loveable characters, very well rounded and described, that it's hard not too. Florence is such a giant bundle of fluff, and I particularly enjoyed her interactions with Fabio the unicorn - who is exactly as you would expect from anyone called Fabio.
The plot, just like the previous book, is fast paced and packed full of excitement to keep the reader entertained. It's simple enough to follow easily, but that doesn't mean it lacks anything in terms of depth and engagement. Honestly, I'm really impressed by how much I enjoyed this as it's very much on the younger side of children's fiction - the illustrations definitely also help to visualise what's going on too.
Such a fun series, I'd definitely recommend to lovers of all things spooky middle grade.

Amelia is back, and she is going on a quest to the Kingdom of Light to find Tangine's mom. Of course she brings her friends (and Tangine's dad) with her.
Even after reading I am still very much excited, this book was absolutely fabulous, fun, hilarious, sparkly, pointy, and more!
I had a lot of fun seeing the characters in their... well... paper-thin disguises. It amazes me that throughout the book no one noticed that maybe something wasn't right with these kids. Still it added to the fun, and eh, the whole world is magic, maybe they enhanced their outfits with a few more sparkles. Sparkles always distract, right?
I just loved seeing more of the Kingdom of Light. It is such a bright and, given the descriptions as the illustrations are black/white, sparkly and colourful place. I wouldn't mind living there, but I am not too sure if I want to live in a world that sparkly and shiny all the time. Sometimes you just need a little darkness. I was in stitches when they met all sorts of creatures of light and they were trying their hardest not to run away and scream in fear. :P Cute bunny? Endless fear! *snorts*
Of course there is a big mystery going on with a weird fog and creatures of lights disappearing left and right. I knew something was up, and I knew then already that it couldn't have been the creatures of darkness. Come on, those guys pee their pants (if they are wearing one) or drop dead from seeing a cute little fairy or bunny. I couldn't imagine those guys grabbing one and kidnapping it. I won't spoil if I was right or not, ha! You will just have to read the book.
The rainbow road/rail, such a delightful idea, I wouldn't mind travelling that to stuff like work/libraries/shopping trips. Where do I sign up?
And everything got really exciting when our group gets to Glitteropolis. The mystery thickens and our crew has really got to find out what happens before they are stuck forever (dum dum dum!). I already couldn't stop reading but at this point I was practically glued to the book. I just needed to find out what was going on in this city, there were so many suspicions things going on. And in the end, nope I am not spoiling, I was delighted with what was going on and seeing the whys and hows.
I am still not a fan of Florence. Like in the previous book, but she really does some stuff wrong in this one. The well, anyone? Not to mention all the other times that she almost ruined their disguises because this girl doesn't know subtlety or cares about maybe trying to blend in. A lot of times I just wanted her erased from the story. And really, stop shouting all the time. I get that you are a yeti, and maybe you are meant to shout, but learn to not do it. And get an effing clue.
From my review of the first book: "She reminded me a lot of Grenda from Gravity Falls. A good friend, but she doesn't get the most basic of clues, shouts all the time, and doesn't know her own strength."
Tangine is really improving. He is still a pompous twit at times, but I could see him changing to someone who cares more and knows what fuuuurrriends/fuuurrrmaids are. :P And with the things that happened in this book and especially those at the end, I think he will change for the good some more.
Also I just laughed so hard when we met Fabio, the unicorn. Really, of all the names to give to a unicorn you had to call him Fabio? *snorts and rolls around laughing*
The wishing well? Dear word, that well was a rude one. Though I did feel kind of sorry for the revenge he got from Florence, no wait, he deserved that. :P
The ending was fabulous, I was so happy with how everything came together and how happy it all was! But, I am even more happy with the news that there will be another Amelia Fang book, I can just guess what it will be about and I am very excited. The cover looks fabulous and I want the book now, or well, yesterday. :P
Big pluspoints to the cover/design of the book. The previous book was orange and shiny, this one is purple and shiny! <3
And course a lot of hearts to the brilliant illustrations! They are just the best and I just adore them.
All in all, I want the next book! I need to know! *grabby hands* And I would recommend this one to everyone.

Amelia Kulmuri on loistava hahmo, joka kasvoi paljon ensimmäisen kirjan aikana. Kuningas Vladimirin salaisuus paljastui: hänen poikansa Tangine on vain puoliksi pimeyden olento. Hänen kadonnut äitinsä on nimittäin keiju.
Tässä toisessa osassa Amelia ystävineen auttaa vampyyri-keijupoikaa äidin etsimisessä Valon valtakunnan puolelta. Samalla he tulevat paljastaneeksi ylhäisten yksisarvisten poliitisen kähäröinnin ja propagandan painamisen, sillä totuus on, etteivät valon ja pimeyden olennot ole vaarallisia toisilleen.
Nerokas opetus suvaitsevaisuudesta ja valeuutisista alleviivaamatta turhaan. Näitä pystyy lukemaan tai kuuntelemaan jo ekaluokkalainenkin.

Lepsze niż poprzednia część, ale szału bez...
Chociaż przynajmniej dowiedziałam się, że jestem tęczogrzywym jednorożcem a mój ojciec to Jednorożec Alfa, myślę, że takie rzeczy zawsze dobrze wiedzieć. Poza tym seria o Amelce Kieł jest moim zdaniem dość... tłoczna (najlepsi przyjaciele chodzą z nią wszędzie, do momentu, w którym myślę, że ta książka powinna nazywać się inaczej) i niezupełnie spójna, niestety, nie porwała mnie jak *BEEEP SPOILER* *BEEEP SPOILER*, więc nie sięgnę po kolejną część. Ale hej, gdybym miała złotówkę za każdą przeczytana książkę, w której ktoś zmienił się w pszczołę i potem dalej zdarza mu się bzyczeć, to po tej pozycji miałabym drugą złotówkę...

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
In this second book, Amelia and her friends travel into the terrifying (for them) Kingdom of Light on a quest to find a very important missing fairy (I won’t say exactly who because that would be a spoiler for the first book). The story in this second book was a lot more active, so I think I enjoyed it even more than the first. There were lots of fun elements to the Kingdom of Light, and it was hilarious to see Amelia and her friends’ reactions to them (all that sweetness tended to make them sick!). In some parts the story was just plain silly (for instance, Amelia and her Yeti friend disguise themselves as unicorns by basically just sticking horns on their heads, and apparently that’s enough to fool everyone), but this isn’t the type of book you’re supposed to take all that seriously. There was lots of adventure to this installment, and it’s a perfect set-up for future books. I can’t wait to read even more of this series!

Second Rating: Assuredly 5 / 5
A quick read, but a dee-light-ful one! A fitting continuation of the adventures of Amelia and her friends!
Rating: 5 / 5
If the first Amelia Fang book included all things dark, then its sequel includes all things like and poofy and glittery and...
umm....
well...
There's UNICORNS!
Definitely a fitting sequel though, and I was loving the new locations that Amelia and her friends got to explore. Also, I was surprised that a few things actually DID manage to surprise me about this series, so that was also refreshing.
Definitely a fan! Keep it coming!

Laura Ellen Anderson did it again and I absolutely loved this book!!!
Her Amelia Fang series show children and adults alike that differences are what make us special and interesting, so why fighting them? We love each other when we embrace our differences, not despite them.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! If I ever go back to the UK, I'll get this series first thing.
I highly recommend these.

The Amelia Fang series is a laugh-out-loud, fun new middle-grade series about a young vampire named Amelia. Amelia lives in Nocturnia, home of creatures of the dark. She loves hanging with her best friends, Florence (a special breed of yeti) and Grimaldi (a grim reaper in trainer), and adores her pet pumpkin Squashy. In book one, Amelia Fang and The Barbaric Ball, Amelia is not excited about attending the traditional Barbaric Ball, but, when she learns young Prince Tangine will also be going, she’s hoping to make a new friend...but Prince Tangine turns out to be a mean spoiled sprout! Will learning a secret about the Prince change Amelia’s mind about him? And in book two, Amelia Fang and the Unicorns of Glitteropolis, Amelia and her friends head to the Kingdom of the Light to try to find Tangine’s mom and maybe solve a glittery mystery.
This whimsically macabre series is a spooktacular delight! Full of fun frights, lovable characters, cool settings, fizzy imagination, and engaging illustrations, both books will captivate and amuse young readers.
Readers will get to explore both Nocturnia and The Kingdom of Light in books one and two, and these vastly different realms are both such fun, well-crafted settings. Nocturnia, with its deliciously and adorably dark atmosphere, surprising monster-ish inhabitants, and ravishingly revolting menu, will creep out readers in the best, most fun way. And The Kingdom of Light, with its outrageously over-the-top frou-frou-ness, cute inhabitants, and super sweet treats will leave readers in giggles.
Amelia and her gang of old and new friends make for an eclectic and endearing gaggle of fun characters. Readers will have a blast joining them on their wacky, thrills and chills filled adventures.
This cleverly written series, with its exciting stories; enthralling settings; and unforgettable characters will bewitch readers, especially reluctant readers.

I feel like I give too many books 5 stars but I just genuinely love those books that much for all different reasons. This one gets 5 stars because of the story, because of the villain! How they found out who he was and the truth about their world was amazing, I thought it was really well done.
Based on the first book, the reveal of the villain and the truth of their world was much darker than I expected given the light, fun, cute feel of the first book and the first half of this book. I love the characters, old and new and really want to read the third book in the series.

Another great book about Amelia and her friends. I can see how this series could've been a duology and I'm really grateful that the author didn't drag out the storyline in the first book. I am looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series goes!
May 10, 2018
Just as good, if not slightly better than the first. This story continues from the first and is beautifully illustrated throughout.
