Firelight: A Graphic Novel (Amulet #7)

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 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 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.

Son loves series so anything to get him reading

This series has come so far. I remember buying the very first one at my elementary school's book fair back in 2008. As I grew up, I never stopped reading them, and as it went on, the series started getting darker in tone. There are some lighthearted moments here and there, but mostly the world is getting quite bleak with all the messed up stuff happening. Can't wait for book 8: Supernova. I look forward to seeing what the invaders actually look like and seeing epic space battles. I also think that if the author Kazu Kibuishi is okay with it. This would do really well as either as a cartoon done in the animation style of last airbender, or an anime.

My son and I started on this book series when he had to read certain types of books for homework, and this series is one that stuck. I checked the first out at the library, and he's kept reading them since. Very fun series.

Kibuishi's creative sensibilities are simply amazing. The characters throughout this series are interesting and unique. His artwork is compelling and, at times, breathtaking. This adventure incorporates multiple genres into a pleasing and enjoyable journey for his readers. My family absolutely loves Amulet and cannot wait to hold each new installment in our own hands. I cannot recommend this series enough. Enjoy!

The kid loves all of them!

The book was in great condition and I could hardly tell it was used. The details in the art is phenomenal and can hardly be compared to other books. As soon as you read the first few pages, you're hooked! Following the story of this family and the difficult decisions the children have to make to save their world as well as the one they did not know existed, there are twists we don't expect. In other words, this family got more than a house from their missing relative.

My daughter loves this series, can't wait til the next one comes out

That is a cliff hanger and a half. I think this might be my favourite of the series so far. I am INVESTED in this gang and it’s taken a turn for the worst. Emily, Emily, Emily. What are you doing? There’s so much going on - memories, dreams, submarines, enemies, allies. I can’t get over this story: it gets more interesting but never too complex! Just incredible!

A high octane. Slow paced . Must have comic. With a good background of all characters.

I was a big fan of the Amulet series since the first volume and had been keenly awaiting this latest addition. However, I was deeply disappointed - the story seems to have lost its direction and with such a long delay between volumes, I think this might well be the last one I've bought.

My students in grade 4 love this series!
