#Summary of the green ember free

Just a note, there were some intense battles with rabbit injuries and deaths, though most are not described in detail. Maggie that even in this dark world, ordinary people (or rabbits, in this case) can and must bear the flame of hope. But all through it, I was reminded by a certain Stitcher, Sween, and Mrs. At the end of the book, our main characters are separated. There were fierce battles and crushing deaths.

The plot thickened with betrayal, conflicted loyalties, and self-sacrifice. And Brother Heyward’s mysterious invention. 😀 😀 Jo Shanks is in this book–woohoo!!! ❤ 😉 And catapults. Please, let’s talk about the best thing ever that is rabbits with bows. 😉 I liked the further character development of Lord Rake, Lord Ramnor, and even Helmer. Now that I think of it, all of the rabbits have kinda “leveled up” in this book. Her decision at the end kinda shocked me. I liked how she cared deeply for others and spread hope wherever she could. He was by no means perfect, though, and Uncle Wilfred’s advice about inner battle scars had me sniffing. I also really loved how he took care of his sister Heather and her friend Emma. Picket was fantastic in this one! In light of his attitude in the first book, it was really cool to see him moving beyond that as a capable leader working with his own elite squadron, the Fowlers. But I read it, and I loved it, and it’s worth the read, and I’m glad to be back into these books. Even just the title filled me with foreboding. I took me forever to work up the courage to read this book because I accidentally read a review with a HUGE spoiler that made me doubt if it was worth reading. Till The Green… Ember Falls” (from Goodreads) Can Heather and Picket help rescue the cause from a certain, sudden defeat? The fragile alliance forged around the young heir seems certain to fail. Heather and Picket are two young rabbits improbably thrust into pivotal roles. Morbin Blackhawk, slaver and tyrant, threatens to destroy the rabbit resistance forever. And the end has me contentedly speculating. And I hope that, when they have blown a hole in that darkness, the light pours in.”Īltogether, this book is one to love. I know I help invent things that destroy, but they are aimed at the darkness. “I have only one desire in these painful days, to see my work matter for the mending. “I believe you’re right, Picket,” he said, smiling through fresh tears. “I’m General Sunshine, and this is Private Misgivings,” Picket said, smirking. 😉īest quotes: “Who are you?” Daggler asked, stepping forward with an inquisitive expression.

Also, some of the religious expressions in this could be slightly confusing for younger readers, and one character having “Truth” as part of his name made me slightly uncomfortable.

Just a note, the preylords’ methods of rule are very remniscent of the Nazis with some things as conceptually disturbing as SPOILER ALERT! carrying off and killing young ones en masse and giving one vile rabbit free rein to torture as he pleased. I was floooored by that last betrayal though. (I need to hear those songs…) The battle scenes in this just might have the Battle of the Five Armies beat, though we’re still waiting for confirmation on that… 😉 And the scenes of rest and renewal were really sweet. Same of my favorite side characters in this were Wheezie, Whit, and Emerson. I really liked the “ordinary” characters since they remind me that things as simple as stitches and songs can be used by God. There was some new tech in this one, wow! Lots of people working hard with small steps and small faithfulnesses. And my personal favorite, Jo, just gets better and better. Everywhere and with everyone they met they were for the cause no matter how bad things got. Picket (sassmaster extraordinaire) and Heather were both amazing in this one. The first 60% of the book was sooo slow, but it was worth sitting through all that development and “calm before the storm” for the brilliance that was the last several chapters. I’ll just have to try to keep the spoilers out because OH MY WORD I went into this blind and was repeatedly gobsmacked by the twists and turns and reveals. *zips lips against spoilers* *realizes I won’t be able to speak at all* *unzips lips* Heather and Picket are plunged into the darkness of Morbin’s shadow, fighting to bear the flame of the cause and light the way for rabbitkind’s upright insurrection. “A harrowing adventure inside enemy territory.
