I wanted to start to read Amulet because everyone in the class was saying how good the book was, so I read the first book and I really liked it.The reason why I would prefer the book to other students is because it has a part about love, horror, and happiness. In the book, there was a family that...
3.5/5 starsI wonder what's gonna go down next... ^.^ (Spoilers if you haven't read it.)Some thoughts: - WHAT HAPPENED TO MISKIT AND COGSLEY AFTER THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN? I hope they'll appear in the next volume. *crosses fingers* - As much as I want to, I can't help but doubt Leon a little. Emily's m...
Yet again, another great installment in this series. I really feel like this story is just getting better with each volume. I am starting to be attached to a lot of the characters especially all the robots. I love the introductions of new characters as well as their development throughout the ser...
In terms of story progression and character backstories, this was a major improvement over the previous two disappointing installments. I'm confused, though, by the apparent lack of interest in ensuring the storyline as a whole is consistent. Perhaps it's more apparent because I'm reading these i...
A decent follow-up to a decent introductory volume. Again, at the behest of my kids I read this sequel. The heroes move on to save the human kids' mom from the poison and evil dark elves show up and start harassing everyone and blowing shit up. It all sounds trite in retrospect, but Kibuishi has ...
Things get a little bit darker for new Stonekeeper Emily and her brother. We're told who and what the Elf King and his ilk are and Emily is told of some very big dangers associated with the amulet and the title of Stonekeeper. New allies are met, I'm a fan of Leon, and Navin finds himself with a ...
This novel has it all:suspense, gorgeous artwork and excellent story. The journey that continues with Emily and her brother Navin gets juicier. They continue to battle the elves to save their mother and meet some excellent allies on the way including Leon Redbeard a fox who is a great warrior. ...
Really enjoyed the second book in the Amulet series. It was the perfect follow on from the first book and was packed with exciting plot twists and action. Its hard to believe that something so visual and quick to read can be so dense and addictive. I can't wait to read the second one and highly r...
Bookworm Speaks!Amulet #3 The Cloud Searchers by Kazu Kibuishi ****The Amulet Saga continues and here is where things get moving. Warning: Minor Spoilers. The Story: Emily, Navin and their friends have managed to elude the servants of the Elf King and are now trying to find their way to Cielis, a...
In book three of the amulet series, "The Cloud Searchers", Emily, Navin, and Leon Redbeard, with the help of Enzo, their pilot, set off in search of the city of Cielis. On the way, however, they run into some elves. Unfortunately, the elves are up to no good. This book is a great follow-...
This, the third instalment of the Amulet series has just as gorgeous background art as the previous volumes, but the character art is still a bit lacking a. The storyline is solid if a bit rushed, never letting down on the action in order for the reader to actually get to know the main characters...

Emily, Leon, Navin, and gang have landed on Cielis, but what they find is not the city they expected. Something is horribly wrong on the legendary floating city. First of all, Emily is forbidden from talking to the Council until she tries out for a spot at the academy to become a council member, ...
I'm still REALLY loving this series. This volume was quite good, but Book Two is still my favourite. The plot is definitely taken to a new level in this "book". The climax will soon be reached me thinks. There were also some especially cute and funny scenes that involved a few of late Silas' inve...
WOW!! I finally figured out how to hide my review, (due to spoilers, this is your warning;) on my GoodReads app.ACHIEVEMENT!!!! :DAs Emily and all her buddies search for the Cielis Amulet council, something seems amiss when the used-to be busy streets are empty, (we could have added tumbleweeds f...
The last book out so far, but the series is not complete! We are waiting and excited for #6 to come out this year! The city in the clouds was found and all sorts of mischief is brewing. The safety and well-being of all Alledia is threatened because the Elf King was able to secure an object that w...
I really enjoyed this, and I'm super excited for the next volume. There wasn't much of Emily in here, but when she showed up, she was totally badass, and I think she's maturing as a character, getting more comfortable with her powers and in trusting others.Marx's backstory is predictable, but als...
Kibuishi keeps up the awesome. This entry is basically one giant running battle, with crazy airships, mechs carried by airships, and hideous demons freed from their mountain tombs and handed an Amulet.We get some more teeth in the meaty part of the story involving the Guardian Council and that cr...
This is a really quick read of the Copper web-series comics which are beautifully illustrated by Kibuishi. The colour palettes used for the panels was my favourite part of reading this but the short one-page stories (with a few longer than one-page thrown in) were all rather amusing and thought-p...
This is probably the favorite graphic novel of my students. It's visually stunning with characters to which just about every kid can relate even if some of them fall a little flat at times. That mom is ... extremely trusting. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more trusting than I would be of bunny robots ...
This one felt like they were getting someplace. More so than book five. Oh, beautiful artwork, I will never tire of you.
i want to read these books because i have 1-5 and reading the SIX would make me happy And the plot thickens... Kibuishi can't draw these fast enough for me.
The Amulet series is a mash-up of fantasy tropes of magic, and elves and a quest with SF elements such as giant robots, alien monsters and spaceships. It is also the blends the boundaries of quest stories and young apprentices having to come through to save the day. The quest and war do not see...
Graphic novels are like flash fiction with art, script, character, plot and storyline. One favorite in this compilation was "Courier," by Kazu Kibuishi. I liked the character, mainly, because he was a laid back fellow, seemed quiet, with short, jet black hair and a humble attitude. His job is sen...
This volume of Flight is as gorgeous as all the others, but it's the first volume after Flight Explorer was created, so some of the regulars like Egyptian Cat and Space Dog have been moved to that collection and don't appear here . . . which makes me kinda sad. I really liked some of the more chi...
These have all been fairly solid books. I'm definitely bummed that this is the last of the series, but it had a good run considering the ample price tag and the HUGE variety of content and authors. Compared to some of the other volumes, this one felt more cohesive as a whole, and a nice way to en...
