Comic Book / Amulet
Amulet is a 2008 series of Kazu Kibuishi, editor of Flight and author of the webcomic Copper and graphic novel Daisy Kutter. The graphic novels chronicle the adventures of Emily, her brother Navin, and the exiled elf prince Trellis as they try to operate and survive in the middle of war.
After the tragic death of her father, Emily Hayes and her family move into her disappeared great-grandfather's house to start anew - although greater forces say otherwise when her mother gets kidnapped, prompting Emily and her brother to follow her into the fantastical world of Alledia. Home to wild and imaginative creatures from walking houses, living robots, and talking trees, Emily is spoken to by a "voice" from an amulet she has discovered while in the house, and is guided to seek assistance from said not-so-dead great-grandfather and brilliant inventor - Silas Charnon.
From there on, it's revealed Emily is chosen to be a stonekeeper and Silas's successor - not only that, but she and her brother are the chosen ones of a specific prophecy that details that they would defeat the oppressive elves that was waging a war in Alledia - the same faction that kidnapped her mother to coerce her into working for them. Now, Emily finds herself trying to not only keep her family together, but also fight an increasingly brutal war against an evil race of elves bent on dominating everyone else and navigate amongst the myriad of agendas of the allies and enemies and in-betweens she encounters, including the very "Voice' from her stone.

The story seemed confusing and rushed, with little character development. The artwork was beautiful, but that wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster storytelling. Overall, I found "Amulet" to be underwhelming and struggled to stay engaged throughout.
2. John Smith - 1 out of 5 stars - I cannot understand the hype surrounding the "Amulet" comic book series. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, jumping from one event to another without proper explanations. The characters were bland and stereotypical, lacking any depth or nuance.
