I hadn't read the previous books in a good amount of time. But I can't believe it's over... I started this series as an elementary school student and now I'll soon be graduating with my associate's in college. Crazy the journey that's happened throughout the years.

Love this series. So glad to have finally finished it.

The conclusion to this adventure of two siblings in a magical world. Emily figures out that by overcoming her fears and anxieties that she can beat the shadows. So she must go to the other world to save her mom and brother, and let them know how to defeat the shadows. A new group of Stonekeepers is being trained to help rebuild the world instead of control it. And the Elf Prince decides he would rather help rebuild the world than retake the throne.

It’s a solid ending to this series that got a bit outlandish by the end. There was a lot of exposition at the end explaining everything and tying up all the threads, but it was still a good-enough ending.

Human Leon Redbeard isn’t real; he can’t hurt you.

An unsatisfactory conclusion. The more I think about it, the worse it becomes because this book doesn’t make any sense as the conclusion to the series.

Beautiful long awaited ending to a favorite graphic novel series. Amulet got many of my students reading, and led them to never stop. It was the beginning of an adventure akin to Narnia and Hogwarts. I’ve waited years for this book but am now sad to see it end. And the author is an absolute gem of a human.

This was my favorite book in the series. I felt their was a step up in the drawing in this book, especially when compared with the last few in the series (maybe because the author took 10 years away from the series and came back when he wanted to spend more time on it). I found that I was a little confused about what was happening, but I got their by the end of the book. I was also surprised with how it ended as I though this was the last book. Maybe the author will write a spin-off series about the rest? 

If I was younger I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more.

One of my favourite comics ever. The drawings are simply amazing and the story is awesome as well. I waited so long for this final volume and was not disappointed.
