I received this book from the Touring Host for an honest review.This is book 2 in The Amulet Prophecy series, and since I have not read the first book I was at a loss from the first page. At times, the author did managed to bring in the information needed to catch up, but I would recommend that you read Book 1 first.A book with a lot of promise but it did not manage to hold my attention, struggling to get through it.  Although well written the different view points through out the book disturbed the quality of the reading, breaking its flow. Because of this I struggled to connect with the two main characters Emma and Simon. At times the characters felt mechanical, not believing that this could be real. I believe if all these different POV's would be left out, and the repetitions deleted it would have made for a much better read.The plot was interesting but disappeared amidst the emotional turmoil of each character, and it failed in my view. The only scene that truly stood out and where I actually connected with Emma and James was during the fight with the Wicked.I thought the villain Antonio's part was good, playing in the back ground and creating all the havoc the characters finds them in.
