My Grandson who loves wizards and magic seemed perfect for his 7 year old reading ability. So after talking to my daughter I sent the first 3 books. She said he could read it, but it became a little too scary for him. So we will wait a bit and see if he grows out of that and wants to read this series later.

This set of books starts off with a bold tragedy that sets up the rest of the characters. Fun and fantastic, Tolkien like with a mash up of Jim Henson muppets. The story is captivating and possibly more important, is the art. Attention to detail, vibrante colours and imaginative creations. You root for the lead charcters, Emily and Navin. Being so young but brave to go after their mother who has been taken by a octopus slash bug monster. The new world they discover will shock and awe them. To find out this place is hidden from the eyes of "our" world and that destruction can come to both. It is reveled to the kids by their great grandpa Silas, who sets them on this important mission. Character delvopment is huge in this book series.The friends that go with Emily and Navin you will cheer for. Miskit the rabbit, Cogsley the jerk robot and Leon the fox, bounty hunter.All important for Emily and Navin to complete their quest. I hope that book five is not the last of this book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the world of Amulet
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011

This second volume picks up where the last story left off. Emily and Navin are trying desperately to stay ahead of the elves and to find a cure for their mom. The robots left behind by their great grandfather are doing their best to fill the kids in on the world around them and about the amulet that Emily now wears. But they can't provide much training on it. Enter Leon Redbeard, who helps the group escape the elves and meet up with the resistance...and provides Emily some much needed training on the Amulet. And before the end battles are fought and line are drawn. How will still be standing?

The second volume is even better than the first. Kazu weaves a remarkable story through this series and presents strong, realistic characters. Another author might have tried to make Navin the hero or always looking to Emily to do things, but Kazu creates characters that are equally strong and provide encouragement and support to each other. Each new character that we meet has hidden depths to them and are more than they appear to be. I don't want to go into detail on that because its an important part of the story, but let's just say that everyone isn't who they appear to be.

The artwork continues to shine and each new image gives us more and more detail into this new world that surrounds us. There are so many details to scope out and the detail given to each character is incredible. The scars, the fur, the nuts and bolts, each is given attention to make it unique to each character. And the colors. The colors are blow me away amazing with their vibrancy and life they bring to the characters.

This series has something for everyone, whether young or old, male or female, robot or human, everyone can get into it. The first two volumes create an amazing ride and I look forward to see where we go next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stonekeeper's Curse
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2011

Despite being an adult, I enjoy reading young adult stories. The artwork of the Amulet series is the reason why I return each issue and the second book is no exception. THe story seeminglessly continues where the first book left off, and manages to elaborate further on this new world. At times throughout the story it feels that the writing is trying too hard to teach valuable life leasons, like teamwork and the importance of family, this feels forced, however I need to remember that this is a story for children. The end of this chapter is predictable, however this does not make it any less enjoyable. I wait anxiously for further chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars And The Awesome Continues
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010

If you haven't read The Stonekeeper (Amulet Vol. 1), this review will contain some mild spoilers.

Emily's problems only seem to be multiplying. She and Navin managed to rescue their mother with the help of their great-uncle Silas's creations, but their mother was poisoned and they must travel to a distant city in hopes of finding a cure. When she arrives, however, she learns that being a stone keeper is no small task. The disembodied voice that comes from the stone is trying to lure her to the dark side. There are people out to kill her, her brother, and her friends. Not only that, it's been predicted that she will kill the elf king and free everyone from his tyranny...but the only thing she wants to do is save her mother's life.

This installment of the Amulet series is as well crafted as the last one. The illustrations are excellent, the coloring is phenomenal and complements the scenes' moods perfectly, the writing is well done as is the editing, and this time around we get to see a bit more character development. In the first book, Emily and Navin's characters didn't seem fully formed, but as more of their destinies are revealed, they both come into their own.

The story also opens up more and it introduces an entirely new cast of characters and creatures and intense action. One aspect of the story, though, would be a stretch even for the truly young and imaginative. (Mentioning it would be a spoiler.) But overall, this was another winner and I look forward to seeing where the series takes me.
