Amaya, princess of House Amethyst in Gemworld, and her brother love magical pranks. But when one goes much too far, her parents ground the young royal…to Earth! They hope a week in the mundane world teaches her that magic is a privilege…and maybe washing dishes by hand will help her realize that the palace servants should be respected. Three years later, “Amy” has settled into middle school and ordinary life. She doesn’t remember any other home. So when a prince of the realm brings her back to Gemworld and restores her magical destiny, how will she cope?
Much like their previous graphic novel, the Hales have managed to take a fantastical story and give it a very human core. It could be the start of a franchise, but it also works brilliantly as a stand-alone tale. It's another big win for DC's OGN line. Read Full Review
All in all, a delightful story from Shannon and Dean Hale with art by the equally delightful Asiah Fulmore. Read Full Review
Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld is a well-executed story about a young girl who rediscovers her magical homeworld and works with her friends to save the day. The writers make the young characters feel believable as kids, while the artist brings a dreamy ambiance to the story and conveys the characters personalities through their expressions and outfits. Every kid dreams of magical worlds, and kids reading this graphic novel get to live that dream vicariously through Amaya. Read Full Review
