“All hail the…wait, who are we hailing again??”
The leadership of the rabbits against Morbin has taken one wonky turn after another throughout our so-far three-book series. We began knowing Jupiter as king, then Lord Rake, then Smalls, then Bleston, then Emma as queen, and now we might be circling back around to Smalls! With the last chapter of Ember Rising, we discovered that our best and favorite prince is alive. What will this mean for the monarchy, you ask?
Either way, they still get an incredible king or an incredible queen.
So what’s all the fuss about? Sure, Smalls might have been ruler first, but Emma’s ruler now, right?
Perhaps…or not…
Here it is, loyal subjects of the Heir of Jupiter: your chance to debate whether Smalls or Emma is a better monarch to the rabbits!
This came up as a related post lol and having read EE, I definitely think Smalls is my favorite ruler. Don't get me wrong, Emma's strength really shone in EE to me, especially in spite of her reluctance to take on her role as queen; I just like Smalls better as a ruler. I will take into account that we didn't have a chance to see Smalls as ruler more than Emma, but I still feel this way. Smalls has all the qualities it takes, including a humble desire to rule. He doesn't shy away from the role. :)
