Illustrations! You can tell from the cover that the illustrations (black and white inside the book) are beautiful and evoke that old fashioned fantasy. A good reminder right now that this world is not all that there is.Ħ. The whole idea of the rabbits working and looking forward to a “Mended Wood” was lovely. I generally don’t like backstory, but his story, as told by Heather and Pickett’s dad and later by other characters, was interesting and rich.ĥ. I liked the backstory of King Jupiter and his fall and betrayal and how that was a huge part of this society. In the calling ceremony, the master and apprentice bind themselves to each other and the master says, “I bind you…to release you better still.” And storytelling is considered a high calling in this society!Ĥ. It was a given that all the rabbits have a gift to share with the world. But I liked how he learned that it wasn’t anger itself that was bad, but what you do with it.ģ. I know some reviewers have complained that Picket is a little too whiny at times-and that’s certainly true.

So when my son devoured Green Ember and kept begging me to read it, I had to find out what all the fuss was about. It seems to be all the rage in homeschooling circles, although it’s little known elsewhere. We first heard about Green Ember from some friends whose reading tastes closely match our own. I was sure I would not like a novel all about rabbits, but I loved it. Although I’m not usually a fan of anthropomorphic books, my first pet was a rabbit, and I’ve always had a soft spot for bunnies.
