harlizard 's review for:

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
3.75
adventurous funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Technically a reread for me, since I read this one as a teen. Interesting magic system and is chock full of dry sarcasm.
