A review by chrisannee
The Story of the Amulet by E. Nesbit

4.0

This one is a bit darker than the others. After all, mother is sick and father is going off to war (it sounds like WWI). It was interesting to see the growth in the boys and the conflict between them and Anthea. I was absolutely disgusted with Jane, who seems to have regressed in age and behavior, but then I decided that it was part of the genius of Nesbit for, after all, don't children react that way when they become stressed? It didn't really change my irritation at her, but I tolerated her whining after that.

I think the end was a bit interesting, different than her others. Was that a sly jab at magical tricks? It was a nice ending to a clever series.
