I have to be honest and say that Ember Falls is probably my least favorite in the series. The Green Ember is the perfect beginning to the series, and so it receives a 5 out of 5 stars from me! Book II: Ember Falls It worked so well that I didn't even notice it was happening until halfway through the book! While I'm usually wary of books that are written in this way, I think it the perspective switching worked perfectly, and it sets up the style for the rest of the books, where Picket and Heather inevitably get separated but must keep telling each of their stories. Smith tells the story in the third person, but he switches between perspectives quite frequently, mostly between Heather and Picket. It was exhilarating to read, and I was invested in the story right from the very first pages. One moment, Heather and Picket were enjoying an innocent game of Starseek, and the next moment wolves are chasing them and hunting them down. I couldn't hardly breathe because things happened one right after the other in succession so perfectly. I have never read action that was this heart-racing and fast-paced. Like I said before, I finished this book the day I started it.
#THE GREEN EMBER SERIES READING ORDER FULL#
I was so sad to not give the series a full five stars on the books's respective Goodreads pages, but even though there were a couple disappointments in the books, it is still a high-quality fantasy series that I hope to come back to again soon.īe warned: This review contains spoilers! Book I: The Green Ember That being said, there are a few things that left me wanting more out of the story. I guess that means I need to reread the series again, or even read the four short companion books that add context and extra details to the story. Putting down the last book left a huge hole in my heart that I don't know if I will ever recover from. I couldn't get enough of Picket and Heather's adventures to bring about the Mended Wood. I finished reading the first book the day I started it, and immediately picked up the second book to keep going. It has been a long time since I have been sucked into a series so quickly.
They battle wolves and birds of prey in order to reinstate the king of the rabbits to rule over the Mended Wood, a utopia world that they believe will follow once King Jupiter's descendants reclaim their throne. Smith's story of a pair of rabbits who are forced to discover their past and their destiny to right the wrongs in their family's history. That was what led me to pick up The Green Ember. While I waited for more books to arrive in the mail due to my tendency to shop online as a form of self-care, I thought it would be a good idea to dive into some of my brother's favorites. Because I'm stuck at home for the forseeable future, I eventually ran out of books to read on my own shelves. My younger brother seems to have inherited the book-loving genes just like I did, so he has an extensive library of fantasy and sci-fi on his bookshelves.
