Princess Amethyst gets banished to Earth for one week as a punishment, but one week turns into three years and "Amy" forgets who she really is, until someone breaks through to bring her back. Then she must save Gemworld, and face the person she used to be. Enjoyable action/fantasy with creative worldbuilding and good character growth. I've read any number of Amethyst mini-series, series, one-shots, cameos, and reboots over the years -- DC keeps trying to make her a true franchise -- but this original graphic novel aimed directly at children is probably my favorite version. My only complaint is I wish it were longer so it didn't have to rush through the story quite so much. Because it does cover a lot of ground, reintroducing Gemworld, having Amaya (Amethyst) get lost and found during a trip to Earth, making friends and recovering lost memories, and facing a monster to save the world. I'd really like to see a sequel where the characters have a chance to catch their breath. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

What an adorable graphic novel for kids!
I’ve read many books in DC’s Graphic Novels for Young Adults line, but this was my first one from their Kids line. I thought this was just as good as the YA ones.
Going into the story, I didn’t have any particular expectations because I am not familiar with Amethyst and Gemworld. But after reading this, I’m thinking I should start looking into her and Gemworld because she’s pretty cool and Gemworld sounds like an amazing place.
I loved the characters. Amaya (Amethyst) was well developed. She was so sassy and mischievous at the beginning, but matured throughout the story. Her friends Autumn and Topaz were also memorable.
The artwork and style were so cute. It worked perfectly for a younger audience. The colors used to represent the different worlds and characters were stunning. In particular, the pastel purple used for House Amethyst was so pretty.
The only thing I didn’t love was how rushed the ending was. All of the problems were solved so fast. I would have liked to seen the ending stretched out more.
Overall, this was an enjoyable graphic novel that kids (and some adults) are sure to love! ( )
