Title says it all. Although I thought EE was the best thing ever, I would have made a few changes. For one, I thought that this should have been the book where Kylen and Emma/Smalls,(whoever would have been back) solved there problems. They could have sneaked in, killed Tamath and consulted him. How this might have caused war, it would take the seer out of the picture. Or should I say story. First Warren could have also sent spies in to look at their solider numbers, blastarrow amounts etc. etc. which would have given them the amount of supplies they needed. Also if they resolved the problem, Helmer might not have died, though it was a very humble act. Also, that might have given Smalls and Heather more page time. Two: Akolan I feel like Jacks and Harmony should have had more page time as well as Whittle and Sween. Though it was fitting to put all the pieces together to get what we have now. That’s basically everything. BTW I am NOT hating on you Mr.Smith. I thought it was still very well plotted out and everything. Let me know down below what you guys would have changed.

*pulls out list*
Picket the Farmer, why, just why... Couldn't he have done something cooler?
On that note, why did he have to lose his arm?
Helmer dying, of course. I thought if he had to die, that was the best way, but still...
Anyway, those are just my thoughts on it.
Helmer!! i would have killed someone less awesome offf...
I feel like Ember’s End would have benefitted from being split into two books. I feel like a book could have been dedicated to the issues of Terralain and the dragons-or, if nothing else, the dragons could have debuted in one book and been finished with in another. As Ember’s End stands, the dragons feel a bit like they were thrown in to give Smalls and Heather something to do until Whittle could rescue them, at least to me. Though, I won’t lie, “Flood of the Silver Stars” is one of my favorite scenes in Ember’s End.
Two books would also have given us more space for character interaction. If there’s one thing fans seem to be genuinely in agreement about, it’s that we didn’t get enough time-if any-with certain beloved or interesting characters. Might also have been nice to get more time with the various antagonists. I know S.D. Smith prefers that the predators be uncomplicated in terms of character, but it might have been nice to get a LITTLE more time with Farlock, Garten, and the Six.
I agree with you completely
OH no, @Kaleb you have no idea what you have just done...lol...we have been waiting for someone to make this post...so here starts the rant...lol...
more WEEZIE!
the escape from Akolan
what happened to the Commandant and Jab and Hadley?
More page time for Garten, he only got one chapter...
Longer fight scene between Picket and Farlock
What was in the bag Heather grabbed
Wanted to see Picket wake up and at least some reunions would have been nice...
Wouldn't have killed Helmer!
More Smalls!!!!
More Heyna and Cole
Okay we'll stop at ten for now...lol...we loved the way the book ended, not hating on Mister Smith. We think the reason we wanted things a little different and were slightly disappointed is because we had so much time to think about it and wonder what was going to happen next....So our expectations were really high, and Mister Smith hit most of them...
Yeah...
Hopefully we found out who The Pilgrim is in JS 3.
Smith...
OMG right so she grabbed Fays book and the BAG!!! You’re right!!! What was in the bag!!!
I really wanted to see the escape from Akolan, what with all the glimpses of preparation we get in Ember Rising.
Also, who's the Pilgrim? What was in the black bag Heather brought out of the dragon tomb? At first I thought it might be True Blue, but then I learned all the True Blue came from the Pilgrim.
So I completely agree with @kaleb being no hate Mr. Smith and Embers end WAS the best thing ever. but there are just a few things... 1. I don’t know If this was just me but I kinda wish that Picket hadn’t become a farmer, I wish he had a little more impressive ending. 2. I WANT TO KNOW IF JEMMA HAPPENS, CAUSE IT BETTER!!!!
3. I wish we saw some more of the after battle, possibly some proposals or like Picket waking up...
thats about it. Yah, #Jemma better happen. just saying.
With ya’ there.
Helmer. Helmer shouldn't have died.
