This Is Just An Opinion But I Believe Out Of All The Amulet Characters, Trellis Is The Most Well-written.

This is just an opinion but I believe out of all the Amulet characters, Trellis is the most well-written.

Why do I believe this? Well because out of all of the characters Trellis feels the most like a real person. When I mean by that is Trellis is, in my opinion, the most thought out character in the series.

He has a personality, he’s relevant to the story, and most importantly, he has GOALS. He wants to help his people and take the thrown and crown away from the elf king who is leading his people in a direction that will lead to their downfall. He helps the rebellion because he WANTS TO. Emily has stated multiple times, that she helps because she feel like she has to which would’ve been an interesting plot point but Kazu Kibuishi abandoned the thought of having an idea like that. Trellis also wants to kind out what happened to his memories that are connected to the elf king which is also RELEVANT TO THE PLOT BECAUSE IT MIGHT REVEAL HOW TO DEFEST HIM.

The more I think about it the more I feel more upset about how Kazu Kibuishi dealt with Emily. Emily felt more like a real character in the first two books. In those books she had a goal. Save her mom. It’s what drove her to accept the amulet and join Leon. It’s what influenced her decisions and made us root for her. In the later books Emily has none of that which is upsetting because she had so much potential.
