4.5
AMULET OF WISHES is a fun, fast-paced, high-stakes epic fantasy adventure with a multi-POV cast that I'd follow to Mordor and back. Adventure with a side of mystery and some epic action scenes? And also dragons?? Yes PLEASE!
The lore and history in this book are SUPER cool; I'd read a history book of this world. Rita does a great job solidifying each scene's setting with vivid little details that ground me in the time and place. Her writing has a sort of vibe to it that, despite this being a story unlike any other I've read, makes it feel familiar. And I think that has a lot to do with the characters, so speaking of which...
The characters. Derek, that emo bitch, I love him. I want everything good in the world for Jared. I'd let Arabelle stab me. And I absolutely love Darus and Aurelia's interspersed POVs. I am so inrigued by Aurelia and I'd read a whole book just about her, tbh. I, uh, hope she's okay...
Anyway, the cast of this book is fantastic and their interactions with each other are really authentic, real, and very well done. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next! If you're looking for a solid high fantasy that feels like a classic, look no farther!
