"ok let's just pretend the insulting bit never happened" - done, I'm not really thin skinned anyhow.
Well, you seem to be going back and forth in how you are treating these. What I mean is you use "smoke-magic" and treat it like it's own thing, yet then you say "darkness" isn't it's own thing, despite the extensive fantasy history of darkness magic, where it is the representation of negative material forces/power. So, I think darkness magic should be treated the same way, as a negative energy, life draining, etc.

as for how i explain smoke and darkness i was inspired by another magic-system with water and ice magic,so i kinda thought having water in it s gas state aswell would make a lot of sense only that controling an invisible gas would A. as for how i explain smoke and darkness i was inspired by another magic-system with water and ice magic,so i kinda thought having water in it s gas state aswell would make a lot of sense only that controling an invisible gas would A.

    Reviews for "The Representation of Gender in the Amulet Book Series 1-9"

    1. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆

    I was really excited to read the "Amulet" book series, but I must say I was disappointed. The story was lacking depth and the characters felt one-dimensional. The illustrations were beautiful, but the plot just didn't capture my interest. It felt like a watered-down version of other fantasy series I've read before. Overall, I found it to be quite average and wouldn't recommend it to avid fantasy readers.

    2. Michael - ★☆☆☆☆

    I don't understand all the hype around the "Amulet" book series. I found it to be incredibly dull and uninspiring. The storytelling was lackluster, and I had a hard time connecting with the characters. The constant jump between different subplots made the story confusing and hard to follow. Additionally, the artwork, while visually stunning, couldn't redeem the overall mediocrity of the book. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this series.

    3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆

    I had high hopes for the "Amulet" book series, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was off, and it felt like the story dragged on unnecessarily. The characters lacked depth and development, making it difficult for me to feel invested in their journey. While the illustrations were vibrant and eye-catching, they couldn't make up for the lack of substance in the plot. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable series that didn't live up to its potential.

    4. David - ★☆☆☆☆

    I found the "Amulet" book series to be repetitive and unoriginal. The plot seemed to recycle elements from other fantasy stories I've read before without adding anything new or exciting. The characters were forgettable, and their actions and decisions often felt forced or predictable. The artwork, although well-done, wasn't enough to hold my interest. I believe there are far better fantasy series out there that are more deserving of your time and attention.
