Emily must continue her journey to master her power as a Stone Keeper and save Alledia from the Elf King. But her challenge grown as she now faces a new enemy in Max, the mysterious young Stone Keeper who has aligned himself with the Elf King. And they have the last of the mother stone and together they are creating new allies to destroy all who are in their path. But secrets are revealed...not only about the Elf King, but about the stone itself. And perhaps once more there is hope at defeating the Elf King and restoring balance. But for now Emily and her friends must prepare for battle and hope that they survive.I've loved the entire series but the story in this one blew me away. Kazu finally answers some of the mysteries that he's been building, such as the voice of the stone and what it really is. But even better than that Kazu continues to build and enrich what we know about the characters lives creating an even more engaging story to pull the reader in. In this book we learn more about Max, the mysterious Stone Keeper from the last volume, and even more about Trellis and the journey that he's on. My one and only regret with this book is that it ended all too quickly.The artwork in this volume is absolutely phenomenal. Kazu and his team have outdone themselves with this series and in this volume they surpass themselves. Mind you I'm viewing an electronic galley so the final actual print could be even better, but the colors are astounding. They make the book come alive, such as the baren snowy landscape scenes. You would think that these types of scenes would be easy to create, brown/black for the mountain and white for the snow and boom, you're done. But to create truly impressive scenes, such as the ones in this book, you have to build layer upon layer of color, some of which you won't ever really see, but they help create a complete image. And the scenes of Cielis, the floating city, are phenomenal. I could almost believe that I was looking at a photograph instead of an illustration. I can't wait to see what they do in the next book.This has been one of my favorite series since the first book came out and I eagerly look forward to each new volume. It's an epic journey on par with Jeff Smith's Bone, with captivating characters and fantastic artwork. I can't wait to see where Kazu takes us next in this journey and I eagerly await the next volume in this fantastic series. 5 out of 5 stars.

Highly Recommended to all fantasy lovers!
My oldest who is 13 read the first (3) books a while ago and wanted the rest of the series.He and my twin 9 year olds love this series and are currently reading through them.I will read the series after they are done and give a proper review.
And this is an awesome contribution to this series. Amulet 5 was received by my own children and the students I work with with the same enthusiasm that the previous four received. My students fight over these books (please let me read it next). I have a library in my classroom and this series is a big hit with all kids, from 3rd grade to high school sophomores. The reading is very easy and the pictures help but the story line is interesting enough to catch everyone up and keep you interested.
I enjoyed both the artwork and story in this the fifth book of the Amulet series. While it is marketed as a young adult book it is certainly not written in a way that an adult can not enjoy it as well. As always if you are a fan of Kazu's artwork you won't be disappointed. At this point I'm eagerly waiting for the release of the next book in the series.
This set of books starts off with a bold tragedy that sets up the rest of the characters. Fun and fantastic, Tolkien like with a mash up of Jim Henson muppets. The story is captivating and possibly more important, is the art. Attention to detail, vibrante colours and imaginative creations. You root for the lead charcters, Emily and Navin. Being so young but brave to go after their mother who has been taken by a octopus slash bug monster. The new world they discover will shock and awe them. To find out this place is hidden from the eyes of "our" world and that destruction can come to both. It is reveled to the kids by their great grandpa Silas, who sets them on this important mission. Character delvopment is huge in this book series and the friends that go with Emily and Navin. You get to meet Miskit the rabbit, Cogsley the jerk robot and Leon the fox, bounty hunter.All important for Emily and Navin to complete their quest. I hope that book five is not the last of this book collection.
My 9 year old boy loves these books. It's always difficult to get him to read anything that's not on a screen so we got him this set for Christmas as something to get him off tv, tablet, computer etc. The graphics are amazing and the story line is really good too. Definitely a graphic novel and meant for older kids, but my son loves them and reads them over and over.
I (a literature loving parent) had difficulty instilling an appreciation for books and reading in my son until discovering his appreciation (accompanied with pickiness) in graphic novels. I found myself delighted and moved by Kibuishi's The Arrival, which led to my purchase of this series for my son along with Flight. My son gobbles them whole and asks for more. "Is there a sixth book? A seventh?" The seventh is on pre-order. I'm certain there will be a dark cloud over the house until my 9-year-old can get his hands on the ones that follow.
