The Stonekeeper (Amulet, #1)

A single mother struggling with magic
And some science fantasy
Ok, just robots in this case, but maybe there is more open potential for that in the following parts, let´s see. In this first one, meanwhile, there is a combination of magic, childhood trauma, artifacts, and fantasy worlds that
Slowly escalate towards even more tragedy
As if the setting at the beginning wasn´t already disturbing enough, the plot doesn´t really offer much hope or happy events. It´s a bit as if the darker, adult graphic novels had, of course totally asexually, created something that isn´t too disturbing for younger audiences, but still pretty downing. But what I´m especially looking forward to
Where the series will go
Return to pure fantasy, go more steampunky, or even full science fantasy with more tech tropes and settings? A little bit of cyberpunk dystopia could fit into the mix of options too. Expanding the endless potential of fused science fiction and fantasy power with grains of horror, thriller, crime, and conspiracy is something underrepresented in kids and YA literature, that generally tries to be a safe sell bet by breeding pure, generic genre works.
Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:
