First in a new series, this pulls you in from the start.
In a colour pallet of black and white, with thick clear illustrations, this reads like a classic comic book layout.
Short and sweet, with enough intrigue to carry you over to the next book, we follow David and his friends as they try to discover the origin of a mysterious amulet.
Ending on a cliff hanger I am eager for part 2 in this series.

Oh, okay well I actually enjoyed this.
An all back and white layout similar to a traditional comic.
An easy quick read following Davey and his friends trying to discover more about a mysterious blue amber necklace with seemingly magical powers. On there mini journey of discovery I also found myself researching just as they had and was pleasantly surprised to find out some interesting subject matter raised in the comic.
One character Nick was oh so annoying but the fact I was given this impression goes to show the personalities of each character shone through.
The cliffhanger at the end...I need the next installment now!

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was very inclusive and a really interesting story. It ended with a cliff hanger so I'm really looking forward to reading issue 2.

David gets a weird amulet in a random doorstep package (no return address) on his birthday. As time goes on and only when he's wearing the amulet it starts to glow. David and his friends examine the amulet up close and find a symbol on the stone. They all start researching what it could mean and find answers that only leave them with even more questions.

There is magic, mystery,culture, and friendship. The character diversity is awesome. Based on the title and this first volume, I am hoping for some realm hopping! I think this is the start of what will be a very interesting and cool story. I can't wait to read more!

David finds a package on the doorstep . He has been thrown a surprise birthday party. When h opens the package there is a blue pendant. David thinks it must be from his Grandmother but is it? David goes to. Pawn shop to ell it but ends up not doing it. He wears the pendant and it starts to glow. Why is it glowing? His friends and sistertry researching it at the library but don’t find the answers to the questions they have. What will David do?

It’s an excellent mystery as questions from the start don’t get answers. The author have David’s friends be different races. The characters are well written. The. Story includes culture and friendship. The end of the book is a cliffhanger. It’s a beginning of a series so when does the next book come out?

I really enjoyed this and am really eager to read the next issue. I thought it was fun and I quite enjoyed the characters. There is still more character building I can see coming but I think it's been done well interweaving with the core plot. I quite like that the issue is in all black and white as well. Looking forward to what comes next!

It hooked me and I read it in 10 minutes, I can't wait for the second volume to come out.
The story is about a boy who, on his 15th birthday, receives a blue pendant as an anonymous gift.
This necklace turns out to be not normal at all, and it shines more and more every day and generates strange visions for the protagonist
We see how his aunt, a librarian, helps him and his group of friends and relatives to find possible information about this peculiar object
The characters are Dominican as well, so we have latinx and black rep. We will see if another type of rep appears in the next volumes. (hopefully lgbt)
Also I think I can not review ONE volume and less the first, because the information I have about the story is minimal. But I sure recommend it if you are in the mood to read a fantasy comic.

‘Realms’ by Yeri Vallejo (4 stars)
David Castellano received a blue pendant on his birthday, at first he thought it was from a family member but when the pendant started glowing he realized it was something more. The book follows him and his friend trying to figure out what the pendant really is.
The story was interesting and the characters were inclusive, a little of everybody it seemed.
This was a good start to the series although I would have loved it to be longer, but now I really want to know what happens next so for the first book it works.
