Why read it?
1 author picked Ember Burning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
After Ember loses her grandmother, she finds herself retreating from the Real World and going into the woods. They’re no ordinary woods though. They’re a portal to another world.

This book I felt had a lot of good metaphors for depression and grief mixed with the fantasy elements to give it both a powerful message and an entertaining feeling.
From Kayla's list on creative magical realms in fantasy.
