I really enjoyed this, and I'm super excited for the next volume. There wasn't much of Emily in here, but when she showed up, she was totally badass, and I think she's maturing as a character, getting more comfortable with her powers and in trusting others.Marx's backstory is predictable, but also sweet. I can't wait to read more about him and see how he continues to play in this war.Good volume and impatiently awaiting the next one! The latest volume in this much lauded ongoing series of graphic novels for young readers. Kibuishi is yet again upping the ante and is seemingly getting close to a final confrontation between the two different forces of the Amulett world. He has also nuanced the story, making it not a case of black or white, right or wrong, but of various forces leading up to a war that seems inevitable. This nuance is at the cost of the the clarity of the story, though, which I fear is starting to be a bit too convoluted for the young target audience.The art is still gorgeous, and the characters are still a bit weird looking, although Kibuishi is getting better at this with every volume.Again, it's almost comical to follow the storyline to see what pop culture reference will influence the next scene. In this book it was very obviously the extraordinary anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, with its combination of gigantic robots that can only be steered by young persons and the relationship between father and son. The latter theme was not nearly as interesting here as in the original anime, but I find it fascinating that young readers will most likely later in life find the original inspirations for Kibuishi and believe that they have lifted their ideas from Amulett... Still, this is one of the better comic series for young readers produced right now outside of Japan, and it comes highly recommended for readers between 10 and 12.
