It’s been a strange month for me (I hinted as much in my Upcoming Reads – Autumn 2022 post) which means, sadly, that I haven’t read a lot of books, or ones that I would recommend. One book I did finish reading, however, was the final book in The Green Ember series. When I first heard about the series, I thought it sounded interesting but I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. It’s taken me most of the year to read through the series, but when I finished Prince Lander and the Dragon War I immediately wanted to start it again, start the series again.

Isn’t it nice when you find books you want to reread as soon as you’ve finished them?

Please note that the following review may contain spoilers:

Prince Lander and the Dragon War, by S. D. Smith – The third in the Tales of Old Natalia series, and the tenth in publication order of The Green Ember series, gives the background story of a pivotal moment in Ember’s End and picks up some years after The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner (reviews for both here). The reader is introduced to some new characters and feels the impact of the death of a beloved character. Packed with action and loyalty, it is a beautiful story and will be one of my favorites to reread. It is a great read aloud.
