As there is no real good place to put this I will put these here
For those who are going through withdraw from the end of the Green Ember, I thought I would start a post about books we could all read, I will post some below on this and will jump back in to give some other works as well, that I have read or are on my reading list (I will state which ones I have not read).
For those who would like books in the same vein (talking animals) as the Green Ember (these are in no particular order):
1) The Redwall Series: Lighter reading with predictable plotlines, but still very enjoyable reads
a. Jacques also has another series Castaways from the Flying Dutchman that maybe of interest
2) Beyond the Western Deep: A dark fantasy webcomic series for all ages that updates every Saturday, the main characters are squirrels, otters, cats (of various types), and some others
a. Right now, they are running a side series set in the same world as they work on the next chapter of the main series
b. Link to the beginning of the series: https://www.westerndeep.net/comic/comingsoon/
3) The Voyages of Dr. Doolittle: One of my top favorite books and enjoyable read
4) Watership Down: Another good book and one of my favorites, it is more intense the Green Ember, and the rabbits act more like real-life rabbits
a. If you enjoy this book, I recombined reding the follow-up Tales from Watership Down
5) Of course, The Mistmantle Chronicles: I have not read these works, though they are on my list
6) Fifteen Rabbits: By the author of Bambi(the book on which the movie is based), is another work I have not read, but reviews point to this booking being in the same vein as Watership Down, and thus a bit more intense then Green Ember (think dead baby rabbits)
7) The Chronicles of Narnia: Another series I enjoy and have read multiple times.
a. You may also what to look at C.S. Lewis’s Out of a Silent Plaint, the first book of his Cosmic or Space Trilogy
b. I would also recommend The Screwtape Letters
8) The Five Realms by Kieran Larwood: The big selling point of this work is its a #rabbitswithswords series, also a series I have not yet read but intended to
I will be back with some other recommendations that do not have talking animals. If anyone has any other books they would recommend reading, please comment below.
Not sure if anyone has suggested these yet, so I'm just going to start. Of course, if you haven't read Lord of the Rings, it's an awesome series (so far anyway, I'm almost done with the first book).
Also The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. He also wrote a book called Secret Keepers that I really like, slow to start, but a really good read.
Genius Files by Dan Furman (I think) is a really good series, fun read.
Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is good. Touch sad, of course, but good. If you are looking for something to watch, the Netflix adaptation of the books is very close to the books. Fun to watch, even though it is kind of dark, considering what it is about.
