With Volume 5, we find out more about Max's story. Little by little we learn more about why things have come to this point and what has shaped him. As with the earlier volumes, there is plenty of action and suspense and Emily once again shows strength and courage. Upper elementary students gravitate toward this series with the unique array of characters and mix of science fiction and fantasy. They will not be disappointed with this new episode. Once again, the illustrations are eye-popping and lush. Though the storyline is sufficiently intriguing, I would read this series for the graphics alone.

I did notice that since it had been awhile since I read the others, following the storyline was a bit more difficult than in prior volumes. The complexity is a good thing though as the plot is developing and the characters are gaining more depth.

This volume leaves the reader begging for more so I hope the wait won't be too long. My students and I can't get enough of Amulet.

Really EXCELLENT action as I like it. I can't wait to continue reading because it is very intriguing. I hope so much that Max changes sides. With this series I realize again how much I love sci-fi.

Vraiment EXCELLENT de l'action comme je l'aime. J'ai hâte de poursuivre ma lecture, car c'est très intriguant. J'espère tellement que Max change de camp. Avec cette série je me rend compte de nouveau à quel point j'aime la science-fiction.
