The Heir to the Amulet by S.P. Meijer

The Heir to the Amulet is intended as a fast, fun and easy read. Here's the synopsis:

OUR WORLD BURIED
A NEW WORLD ON THE SURFACE
ONE GIRL CAUGHT BETWEEN

In a mysterious new world where strangely evolved creatures roam the earth and the secrets of the past lie concealed underground, six-year-old Lora arrives home and discovers that a decision she has made has had devastating consequences.

Eight years later, Lora is thrown into a dark struggle when she finds out that ruthless powers intend to trade her brother for her best friend to broker a deal. However an unexplained attack on her home sends her fleeing to the city ghettos. She meets Tommy, an orphan she can trust with her life, though not with her wallet nor less with her heart. They smuggle themselves into Lora's old kingdom, a realm of dangers and deceit. Strange peoples and creatures speak languages they cannot understand making their journey by turns bizarre and frightening. Armed with only courage and humor, they must unravel a riddle and cross a forbidding landscape to find the forgotten old world, buried deep within the belly of the earth.

With each challenge they overcome she is drawn closer to the enemies who covet that which she guards, an Amulet; the key to a secret both great and terrible, desired above all treasures on earth.

Ana (anaslair) I would love to read and review it. And it's great that it is an e-book, since I live in Portugal and therefore rarely get the chance to participate in these giveaways :)

Arie Farnam (ArieFarnam) | 24 comments Hey, I think somehow I never got this. :P Slipped my mind and I don't think it ever showed up. Did you ever get my email or PM? I'm very busy for the next two weeks but then I'm going off to a cabin in the woods and I was just thinking I should sign up for some R4Rs. This still sounds interesting.

Ana (anaslair) Arie, pretty sure you read the book as you have written a review for it ;)

Arie Farnam (ArieFarnam) | 24 comments Oh, dear. :) I must have got it confused with another one. Sorry. My brain is overloaded today and it shorted out on that one.


message 15: by Ana (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ana (anaslair) Quite alright :)
I hope it's overloaded with more of the Kyrennei world *cough cough*

Arie Farnam (ArieFarnam) | 24 comments I just saw the cover and thought, I remember wanting to review that. And I didn't look at the description or think again. I am not used to this "read a bunch of books and review them all really fast" thing. It is fun but apparently my brain is getting full. Yes, and the whole Kyrennei obsession keeps it extra confusing, because it is as though I live in two realities. :D

Ana (anaslair) I can only imagine heeh.
It's odd how in GR a week feels like a month and a month feels like 6 or whatnot, probably because I find myself reading and reviewing at a pace I never thought possible before finding this site.

Arie Farnam (ArieFarnam) | 24 comments Yeah, everyone keeps telling me, "Oh, go look for reviews over at LibraryThing" and some other place. And I'm still boggled with GR and FB groups. :P
