There were several weird plot twists thrown in concerning her could have been really intriguing, but they had maybe one page per! For the times when Emily was actually on the darn page (which wasn't very often) I had absolutely no idea what she was doing or where she was going. What does Navin racing around on a bike and piloting a walking mech have literally anything to do with the main plot? Who are all these new characters? For taking up most of the book, the Navin plot was really boring and confusing. I guess Kibuishi wanted to expand on Navin's character or give him more pages, but the Navin plot seemed contrived and just really confusing. For all of you who didn't know, Navin is Emily's little brother. For as much of a cliffhanger Kibuishi left me on with Book 7, this book didn't focus on that VERY important plot point. So we lead up to the first problem I had with this. Trellis vows to get her out of the Void (which is kind of like a mind prison.) In the last book Emily lost control of her stone powers and turned into a massive firebird and was trapped in the void. The graphic novel continues the story of the stonekeeper Emily that has been going for the past seven volumes. If you like the series, you will enjoy this volume.Īmulet, Book 8: Supernova was honestly a disappointment, especially after waiting two years for it. The Elf King has fallen and we are ready for the climax. I'm waiting in anticipation of the last volume. This series is a masterpiece and I do hope that one TV company will take on this story and tell it. The art is beautiful and takes to to new worlds. This is a wonderful series and I'm glad they are about to give us an ending. I did love the trees on the other planet and how they clean the air to keep humanity happy. Kazu has seemingly boundless imagination. The story tries to move to fast at times.

We learn more about the entity of the stones, but I'm not sure dots really connect in this story. Emily finds her way back and there is a whole lot of unknowns going on. This world has plenty left to amaze and we even go out into space.
