Description
Faedra doesn’t know faeries exist, or that they control nature with a book. Nor does she know she’s next in line to protect an ancient fae amulet that controls the weather.

Excellent story, very well crafted. Credible plot, good character development. I will definitely read the next two in the trilogy.
And while this is billed as a "young adult" book (which it certainly is), this 62-year-old grandmother enjoyed it, too!

The Amulet, by Alison Pensy, succeeds on several levels. Set in England and the world of Faerie, the book chronicles the adventures of Faedra, a young woman of mixed human and faerie blood, as she awakens to both her hereditary power and responsibilities. As an adventure, the book certainly does not disappoint. There are chases, betrayals, loves and surprises aplenty.
Beyond storyline, the book also succeeds in blending the mythology of the Celtic Age with the wants and needs of current-day youth: friends, celebrations, dogs, horses, a much-loved father, and a fondly-remembered mother. Pensy wisely does not dodge the early dawnings of eros in her heroine, and we rediscover the joy and trust that define erotic love early in one’s life.
Perhaps most importantly for girls of the 21st Century, The Amulet is an allegory of empowerment for our own daughters and sisters. At the end of the rainbow, today’s young women can anticipate fulfillments greatly surpassing silk gowns, glass slippers, and a handsome prince or two. Pensy’s heroine is every bit as likely as the hero to make a wise decision, face a danger, or deal with the inevitable set-back.
People of both sexes and any age will enjoy the story, but it will appeal most viscerally to girls between ages 9 and 15.
The book opens a three-book set. I predict Alison Pensy will become well-known and loved in the world of young adult books.

I think "The Amulet" is a wonderful debut fantasy from Alison Pensy. It is the kind of book I would have loved to be stranded home alone with on a rainy day when I was in middle school. Is it written on the same scale as Harry Potter or Percy Jakson? No. But I enjoyed it immensely and could not have given the book any less than 5 stars.
The author's writing style is so beautifully visual, you feel enveloped in a book from the moment you start reading. All the right characters are easy to love and hate, plus it has a few surprises along the way, just when you think you are getting comfortable with a plot.
If you buy this book for a girl age 10-14, who loves to read fantasy, she is guaranteed a good time.
My favorite parts about the book: a touch of romance and great visual descriptions.
