review:
'Amulet, Vol. 6: Escape From Lucien' continues the young adult graphic novel series. I've heard it's a good series and I was impressed with this volume.
It does drop you in the middle of the story, so you do need to read previous volumes. The series characters have been split up with Max and Logi heading toward the Elf King and Navin and Aly getting in trouble. Navin gets banned from operating any vehicles, but when the base gets attacked, that gets reversed. They end up finding what seems like the abandoned city of Lucien. They are attacked by strange monsters made of vaport or fire which possess anyone they touch. There are a variety of strange robot vehicles which provides some humor.
Even though I was a little less familiar with what was going on, I enjoyed the story, the characters, the humor and the really great art. Kazu Kibuishi has created a great series for young readers and I'm going to try to get my young nephews and nieces hooked on this one, if they aren't already. It was a really fun read, and I'll be looking for the previous volumes so I can catch up.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Scholastic, GRAPHIX and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
