This is the seventh book in the Amulet series and it feels like it has been taking absolutely forever for these to release. It’s been pretty much two years between each book for the last couple books in this series. That being said this was an incredible addition to the Firelight series. Last I
Our characters are split into two parties throughout the story. The vast majority of this book is spent with Emily and Trellis as they visit Algos Island and find out some very startling things about the history of the Amulet Keepers. This part of the story was fantastic. We learn a lot about the Amulet Keepers history and also get some backstory on the accident that killed Emily’s father. We also get some excellent backstory on Trellis and how he was raised.
The other part of the story follows Navin as he (along with the rest of his crew) try to evade the Elves, rejoin the rest of the Rebellion and reunite with his mother. This part was pretty brief but it was good to see what Navin was up to.
The illustration is absolutely spectacular with full color and breathtaking backgrounds. I continue to really really love the illustration style in these books.
The story doesn’t make a ton of progress but some interesting twists are revealed and there is one huge “Oh No!” Moment towards the of the story that will keep readers hooked.
Overall a fantastic addition to the Amulet series, if a long time coming. Wonderful characters, some good progress on the story, and beautiful illustration. I really look forward to and enjoy reading the books in this series. I do wish there was a “the story thus far” at the beginning because it is so long between book releases. I also wish that the story moved a bit faster. However, this is an incredibly well done series and I highly recommend to fantasy graphic novel fans of all ages.

read Kibuishi has ten books planned for this series. This is a series that both me and my nine year old son adore; so it’s a fantasy graphic novel series that is great for middle grade and older readers.Our characters are split into two parties throughout the story.

The storyline where they get hired and work in a restaurant goes on for far too long.

I hate that it left off like this. It has a major tonal shift (that shockingly isn't jarring or unpleasant), scene changes, and a tantalizing promise of things to come. Evil. Evil I tells ya...

It wasn't as good as the last few installments, but the progression of the plot was good and I still really enjoyed it

QUICK REVIEW:
I really want to start this series from the beginning, but I came across this book on accident. Despite not knowing everything that was going on, this book was rather fun! I'd highly recommend picking up this graphic novel series if you get the chance! It's magical and whimsical and

everything you want in a great middle grade read. It's oddly addicting for a book that I randomly jumped into. But it has a cliffhanger which is crazy annoying to me.... Oh well, I guess I have to find book one and work my way through it! Show Less
