Exploring the World of Amulet: A Guide to the Graphic Novel Series

Amulet is a popular graphic novel series created by Kazu Kibuishi. The series follows the adventures of a young girl named Emily Hayes and her brother Navin as they discover a mysterious amulet and find themselves in a fantastical world full of strange creatures and powerful magic. The first book in the series, "The Stonekeeper", introduces readers to Emily and Navin as they move to a new house after their father's death. While exploring the basement of their new home, they stumble upon the amulet, which gives Emily strange powers and takes them on a dangerous journey to save their mother. As the series progresses, Emily and Navin encounter a wide array of magical creatures and allies, as well as powerful villains who seek to control the amulet. They must navigate treacherous landscapes and face numerous challenges in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The location was good and the condo was nice except we got very little sleep because you can hear the waves crashing 24/7. Other units have sound proof sliding doors so you can't hear the waves breaking on the rocks.

Great location

Place was in a great location. Doors opened to the ocean and right next to Magic Sands Beach. Close to plenty of restaurants in Kona that were a quick drive.

Aloha Susan, you don’t know how much your fantastic feedback means to us here at Knutson & Associates. Have a wonderful day and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Perfect Studio by the Sea

The building is older and the floor slopes where it seems they made the lanai into a bed nook. Perfect sunsets and rainbows, crashing waves. There's a snorkeling beach next door and better one a couple of miles away. Very fully furnished kitchen. TKA Grocery store nearby with very fresh poke and produce. Snorkel gear, beach chair and umbrella were very useful. Would definitely stay here again.

Magic Sands Condo

The location was good and the condo was nice except we got very little sleep because you can hear the waves crashing 24/7. Other units have sound proof sliding doors so you can't hear the waves breaking on the rocks.

Aloha Donna, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We do hope you'll come back and stay with us again! Have a wonderful day!

Great spot to stay

The room was good as expected from the pictures etc. You can watch some amazing sunsets from the window.
It's also right by the Magic Grill, for which you get a 10% discount of food with your room key. They did great food and drink, which you can consume looking out over the beach/sea.
Nothing else walking distance, but it's only a 10 minute drive/taxi to Kailua Kona.
If you stay in for an evening there's a very basic kitchen and a modern TV so you can login to any major service like netflix, etc.
Be aware the windows aren't very soundproof, so the sea is quite loud at night. If that's not your thing, definitely bring earplugs.

Manager's Response

Aloha Darren! We’re so grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us. It’s our pleasure to serve guests like you. Have a wonderful day and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Wonderful view, but.

This condo has probably the best view of any place we've stayed in. It was awesome to see spinner dolphins jumping and yellow tangs coming in on the surf in the morning--and right underneath us! Sunsets were magnificent and there was no need for us to go out to a view place for drinks. We bought ingredients for our drinks and enjoyed the view from our room. On the other hand, the condo could use some major updates. First, the bed (a small one for two people) sits on what used to be the balcony and the floor tips, thus making the bed tilt to the right side. One of us used the hide-a-bed, which felt, well, like a hide-a-bed with about 30 years of wear. Second, there is no air conditioning. We were there in February, and even then it was warm and stuffy without the windows open. There are louvered windows above the door and in the bathroom to let in air. Unfortunately, they also let in noise (even when closed). And noise there was! The condo fronts on a main 2-lane street and seems to be a thoroughfare for trucks and "hot cars" with no mufflers. Many are headed to next-door Magic Sands Beach, which is popular with surfers, b. boarders and people who want to loudly socialize day and night. In the early morning the landscape people start their blowers (right after 7 am). There is a restaurant with decent food and a beach bar next-door as well. Note there are three stories and no elevators. Recommended, but only for the view!

Reviews for "From Comic Book to Graphic Novel: The Rise of Amulet"

1. John Smith - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to "Amulet" graphic novel series, as I had heard great things about it. However, I was ultimately disappointed. The storyline was confusing and poorly developed, leaving me feeling disconnected from the characters and their motivations. Additionally, the artwork, while visually appealing, often felt cluttered and hard to follow. Overall, I just couldn't get into this series and it fell short of my expectations.

2. Emily Johnson - 1 star - I really struggled to finish the "Amulet" graphic novel series. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to truly believe in the characters and their interactions. The plot lacked depth and originality, and I found myself predicting the twists and turns well before they happened. Furthermore, the pacing felt off, with moments that should have been intense or emotional falling flat. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this series to others.

3. Sarah Thompson - 3 stars - I had mixed feelings about the "Amulet" graphic novel series. While I do appreciate the unique concept and some of the artwork, I found myself losing interest as the story progressed. The characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult to form a strong connection with them. Additionally, the series often relied on clichés and predictable plot twists, which left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, while "Amulet" has its moments, it didn't fully captivate me or live up to the hype.
