He loves it
I got that for my daughter as a gift. She really likes graphics of this book.
The last few books followed the theme of : Everything is impossible we are doomed. Oh look, the universe is bigger than we thought! We have allies we didn’t know about. Look at these cute new characters. Repeat. The last book has the same pattern. But it’s all still worth reading. It leaves the reader with adventures to imagine. My kids enjoyed it.
After seven long years, Waverider brings closure to the Amulet Series that has captivated readers of all ages. Kazu Kibuishi has given us a wonderful fairytale that offers many positive messages about the uses and dangers of power, and the importance of inclusion, redemption, and forgiveness. I look forward to sharing this last installment with young people who have grown up with Emily, Navin, Trellis, Leon, Ikol and all the others. So many of the characters were tied up with a bow. Dagno fans will be disappointed, but just about everyone else gets their moment. Thank you Kazu for taking us to Alledia and beyond.
This book does not disappoint! I devoured this book in one sitting! Bravo! Kids love this series and will eat it up too!
I'm thrilled with Amulet Book 9! This graphic novel is a page-turner that captivated my daughter's attention from start to finish. She devoured it within 48 hours, and I'm so grateful for this series that has sparked a love of reading in her. As a parent of a child with dyslexia, it's wonderful to see her engaged with a book. The artwork is also impressive, adding to the story's appeal. Thank you for creating a series that has made reading a joy for my daughter.
This book was spectacular. It was the perfect end to the series and it almost had me in tears when I finished it. I feel that the series came full circle and for fans who have been reading it since the beginning, I guarantee that this will make you happy.
Series Info/Source: This is the 9th (and final) book in the Amulet series. I bought this book in paperback to read. Thoughts: I really enjoyed this conclusion to the Amulet series, I thought it was very well done. It does feel a bit rushed and it does leave some things feeling a bit unfinished. However, I thought it was a realistic ending and all the things that needed to be concluded were. The way it ended does make me wonder if we will be seeing a spin-off series from this one. Looking back I can't believe that the first book in this series was released in 2008, holy cow that was 16 years ago. My son was 1 year old when I started reading this series and he grew up reading these books. Sadly he has no interest in finishing the series at this point, but wow this series was a long time in the making and well worth the wait! I am not going to try to summarize the plot for this one. At this point in the series there are a lot of characters and story lines going on. However, I never had trouble following what was happening and really enjoyed reflecting on how our characters have grown throughout the series. I did go back and re-read all the previous books in this series. Personally, I would recommend doing that because the story is pretty complex and these graphic novels are short reads. It took me 20-30 min to read each one...so it was about a 4 hour committment to read the whole series again before reading the finale. The illustration throughout takes my breath away, it is so beautiful. Kibuishi has so much talent both as a visual artist and a storyteller. I am really looking forward to his next project. My Summary (5/5): Overall I really enjoyed this and am so happy to see this series get a well done conclusion. This does feel a bit rushed at parts and the ending is a bit more open-ended than I expected. However, I enjoyed it and thought it was realistic and well done. The illustration continues to be absolutely outstanding and I really enjoyed watching our characters grow and change throughout the series. If you are looking for an amazing fantasy graphic novel series, I would highly recommend this one!
