title: Ember (Echoes of Ashes) (Volume 1)
author: J E Schmidt
description: Ember will Set your Soul Ablaze This year's newest book, Echoes of Ashes- Ember by J. E. Schmidt , is the best high fantasy novel I have read since J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I loved reading every page of this book; it was able to paint portraits of the events unfolding in my mind as vividly as if I was in the group myself. The plot lines are intricate, and yet simple to follow, which makes for a nice read. I enjoyed all of the different types of characters introduced in the book, and I would have to say that my favorite duo is Midiga and Laderic. This book exhibits elements of friendship, bravery, and showcases the ability of one person to make a difference. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good adventure. You can pick up this book and read it any time and place! --Amanda Mattison<br /><br />An Excellent Read for All I was lucky enough to be a beta reader for Echoes of Ashes: Ember. It's an exceptional fantasy story. I could feel a 17-year-old version of myself falling madly in love with the characters and the magical creatures you meet along the way. As an adult, and a parent, I loved the texture and progressive nature of the author's voice; an excellent read for all. --Jaimie Gipson
