More great reads: the best books for 14 year olds
Sophisticated in style, complex in construction, and exhilarating in delivery, Rose Edwards’ The Ember Days is a thrilling fantasy for readers who like plenty of meat on the bones of their stories. Sequel to The Harm Tree, a LoveReading4Kids Debut of the Month, timeless themes of trust, betrayal, guilt and survival smoulder through a story that’s altogether mythic in scope.
Living in exile in a remote area of the Southern Kingdom, Torny and Ebba find themselves faced with a succession of dangerous situations and ordeals in the aftermath of bloody political battles - a distant cry from the sanctuary they’d longed for. The landscape is scarred; scattered with false hopes, lost souls, and the struggle of two young female protagonists seeking some kind of peace in a world that’s anything but peaceful. With snappy, modern dialogue interspersed with pacey action scenes, and lively details evoking the author’s highly developed world, this is a satisfying sequel if ever there was one.
