The World Is Darkening As The Eclipse Is Starting

I would've just swapped their roles and let Vigo die instead of Daniel but this rewrite is great too

Wanna hear me say my asinine writing ideas again

The Sci-fi subplot in Amulet feels kind of dislocated with the rest of the story. It's hard to describe properly, but imagine baking a cake, you wanted to add tomatoes to the cake but you forgot to add them during the mixing process, so instead you use tomato sauce as the frosting for it and now it tastes like an evil pizza because you also added cheese on top. That's like the main story and the subplot together, not the best mix.

It's probably just me but, I feel like the robots and stuff in the later books tend to feel like they're from another story. At least the early books had more of a steam punk feel in the world building and such but later it feels like advanced technology just popped out of nowhere. It feels less like a fantasy story with a few elements to make it It's own thing and more of a mess of genres from magic, to tech, to a bunch of aliens and stuff.

It feels so disorganized to me, and I'm not really the best critic but I feel like they shouldn't have even had that many Sci-fi elements in the first place. The alternate world, old robots, and steampunk like style to some parts of the story would've been enough. I don't know, I'm probably just rambling here but the Sci-fi parts just feels awkward to me, especially with the already established fantasy setting. I'm not saying that Sci-fi and Fantasy genres don't mix well, they can go well together in fact, but when you don't add the ingredients properly the final product will come out unsatisfying.

In conclusion, I feel like it was either wasted potential or nowhere near potential when it came to the Sci-fi stuff

Literally me

I'm sorry but this image reminded me of this-

Edit: I don't know why I wrote image as imagine before whoopsy

No problem!

The biggest thing that pisses me off about book 8 of Amulet, Super Nova, is the confrontation between Ikol and Emily is anticlimactic as fuck.

She took off his mask and he died?! That’s it? Are you kidding? My elementary school self didn’t even like that which is saying a lot because most of the time when I was a kid, I couldn’t tell the difference between lazy writing and good writing; all I cared about was cool visuals.

There wasn’t even a fight scene, unless you count when Emily electrocuted some of the palace guards, which wasn’t even a fight scene since she DID NOT have to struggle at all. She pulled off his damn mask and he disintegrates like a vampire in the sunlight. And I have said this once and I’ll say it again, if it was that easy to defeat the elf king/Ikol, WAS HE EVEN A DAMN THREAT? Answer: F NO!

What also frustrates me is that it wasn’t a big deal. Again, the entire point of the revolution was to take down the elf king and when they learn that he is dead, they don’t give two flying monkeys’ asses about it. And it’s frustrating because they had so much build up from it, even from the very first book, which did not give a lot of information of the world around them, mentioned and talked about how treating the Elf King was. And you’re going to tell me, that the big threat now is some stupid shadows?!

Verdict? Super Nova made terrible choices that created bad writing from a storytelling perspective and makes me want to scream.

Time to go back in time and beat my 12 year old self for thinking that Tremily would ever happen

finding out from reddit that tremily isn't canon in amulet book 9 has got to be my last straw
