While The Green Ember could stand on its own and laid the groundwork for the books that came after it, Ember Falls certainly needs its predecessor to make sense. In any case, the world building that continued with this book was top notch, despite certainly feeling like a “linking” part of the series.

Obviously, as this series is mainly geared toward children, there were a few points of the plot of this second book that I either predicted from the start or could see coming from a mile away. Go read!īeing a fan of children’s series like The Chronicles of Narnia, as well as a lover of rabbits (owning two Flemish giants as pets), I was glad to get back into the Green Ember series with the second book, Ember Falls. I do hope that you will read the Green Ember Series. Before Christmas, when Sam offered the stories for free, I made sure to make my students aware. I read the first chapter to my MS Bible students and I encouraged all my students to buy the series for themselves. The Green Ember Series will keep readers on the edge of their seat it is exciting and fast paced. I loved the surprise ending, and I cannot wait to read more. Ember Falls concluded with a mystery and a song.
Really Sam?! As I write this I am smiling because Sam left me wanting more, the habit of a great storyteller. The ending was shocking and equally frustrating, only because I want to know what happens to Heather and the singer (cliffhanger). But I suspect that not everything is as it seems. Unfortunately, there are some very sad moments in the story. Friendships and loyalty grow as quickly as deception. Heather is training to be a doctor, meanwhile successfully serving under Emma… who turns out to be? I am not sharing, you will have to read the book. In the sequel, Ember Falls, Pickett has matured into an experienced and brave warrior.
Green Ember concludes with the heroic and valiant efforts of Pickett when he rescued Prince Smalls from a potentially tragic situation. Both my 15 and 16 year old sons have read the stories, and they both enjoyed them. Sam’s stories can be read by people of all ages. The stories include important character lessons: loyalty, family, friendship, compassion, selflessness, and forgiveness. His writing is clean, and child friendly.

I would love to see Sam write full time so that I can read more excellent stories. Sam currently works a full time job and can only leisurely write. Sam is a father of four and he knows what children enjoy. I would like to encourage anyone with children (or not) to purchase and read the Green Ember Series. Behind the exciting action is a strong moral heart of service to a greater ideal which this reader personally finds refreshing in a world increasingly lacking in firm belief standards. Yes, there is violence, but it is not gratuitous or gory. I believe children beginning from age ten to twelve will especially appreciate the spectacle.
#The green ember series 2 code
Anyone who likes the idea of sword wielding rabbits grounded in a code of honour and sacrifice against terrible raptor slave lords will enjoy the series. And who knows? Perhaps in the third book we will find this character did not really die after all.Īnyone who enjoys fantasy will like this series. Without revealing too much, I admit I was disappointed by a certain turn of events (death of a character) but will admit this propelled the narrative to a well constructed conclusion.
All comes to resolution in a climactic battle with morbins army and a cliffhanger ending. Their dedication to the cause at times conflicts with personal struggles and meets confusion in the form of a surprise newcomer, potentially their best ally or worst enemy. Heather and Picket both must bear greater responsibility and face graver trials as the grim denouement looms close. ☺Įmber Falls chronicles the continued arc of the cause of the Mended Wood. There are quite a few plot twists and revelations as well, which made the story irresistible to put down (for me, at least). Each chapter is skilfully written, the wording concise and powerful, especially befitting the action scenes. The sequel does everything a good sequel ought: it extends the action and plot, deepens the characters of the first while weaving in the strands for the final culmination. Wow, I must say the author has delivered marvellously in this second of a trilogy.
