1. John - 2/5 stars
I found the Amulet series to be incredibly drawn-out and repetitive. It felt like the storyline was being dragged out unnecessarily, with each book introducing new problems without providing any satisfying resolutions. The characters also lacked depth and development, making it hard for me to connect with them. Overall, I was disappointed with the series and wouldn't recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars
I couldn't get into the Amulet series at all. The artwork was the only appealing aspect for me, but even that couldn't save the weak plot and uninteresting characters. The story felt disjointed and disjointed, with no clear direction or purpose. It seemed like the author was simply trying to extend the series as long as possible without actually progressing the storyline. I was greatly disappointed and wouldn't bother continuing with the series.
3. Robert - 2/5 stars
I had high expectations for the Amulet series based on the hype surrounding it, but I was ultimately let down. The plot seemed intriguing at first, but it quickly became convoluted and hard to follow. The characters didn't feel fully developed, and their actions often seemed forced or inconsistent. Additionally, the pacing was uneven, with slow sections dragging on for too long and exciting moments feeling rushed. Overall, I didn't find the series as engaging or enjoyable as I had hoped.
4. Emily - 2/5 stars
The Amulet series had some potential, but it fell flat for me. The plot was filled with cliches and predictable twists, making it hard to stay invested. The characters lacked depth and felt like caricatures instead of real individuals. The dialogue was often cheesy and cringe-worthy, further taking away from the overall experience. While the artwork was visually appealing, it wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings of the series. I wouldn't recommend it to others, especially if they're looking for a more complex and engaging story.
