Reviews for "The Evolution of Amulets in Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet Series"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really looking forward to reading "Kazu kibuushii amulet" based on all the positive reviews, but I was left disappointed. The plot was confusing and hard to follow, with characters introduced without much depth or meaningful development. The writing style was also lackluster, with repetitive phrases and little emotion conveyed. Overall, I was underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend this book to others.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - "Kazu kibuushii amulet" was a complete waste of time for me. The story felt forced and contrived, and the characters were one-dimensional. The dialogue was awkward and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with any of the characters. The pacing was also off, dragging in some parts while rushing through others. I regret spending my time on this book and I do not understand the hype surrounding it.
3. Emily - 3/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Kazu kibuushii amulet" based on the intriguing premise, but I found the execution to be lacking. The world-building was minimal, leaving many questions unanswered, and the magic system was poorly explained. The main character was also difficult to relate to, as their motivations seemed unclear and their actions often inconsistent. While there were a few interesting moments, overall I found this book to be mediocre at best.
