Book Review & Giveaway: Amulet, The Last Council

4 stars- It's A Great Read

Kazu Kibuishi's thrilling, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling series continues!

Emily and her friends think they’ll find the help they need in Cielis, but something isn’t right. Streets that were once busy are deserted, and the townspeople who are left live in fear. Emily is soon escorted to the Academy, where she’s expected to compete for a spot on the Guardian Coucil, a group of the most powerful Stonekeepers. But as the number of competitors gets smaller and smaller, an awful secret is slowly uncovered – a secret that, if left buried, means the certain destruction of everything Emily fights for.


I've only read a small amount of graphic novels before, and this one is one of the best ones I've read. Kazu Kibuishi's illustrations are amazing. The story itself is really good, and despite the fact I've not read the other books in the series, it didn't take me long to pick up on what was going on. Now I see why this series is so popular. After reading this I'm definitely planning on picking up the rest of this series! I'd definitely recommend picking up The Last Council. It's a great read for readers ages 9 & older.

Here's a sample of the inside of the book:
