This is the final book, or so it seems, in the Green Ember series by S.D. Smith. The 9th book, The Archer’s Cup, continues to deliver what we’ve come to expect in this incredible series of fast-paced action and fantastic storytelling, laugh-out-loud humor, and endearing scenes. They are similar to the Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, though unique, fresh, and new at the same time. I have read the entire series to my daughters ages 9, 7, and 5, and they love them dearly. We also purchased the Green Ember audiobooks on Libro.fm so they could hear the stories again and again. They truly adore them.
S.D. Smith easily creates depth in his characters, all the while enthralling the reader with epic adventure, mystery & intrigue, well timed humor, and in this book in particular, he touches more on romantic love. The masterful chronicling of Jo Shanks’ adventures in the battle for all Natalia includes a romantic element in this installment, as he and his friends escort the princess to Blackstone citadel to unite them for the cause. Somethings not right at the citadel and Jo and his cohorts get thrown into the fray by proxy. I read the book myself before reading it to my children, and I couldn’t put it down. I closed it with joy for such a great story now in my heart, and remorse that it was over. You won’t be disappointed! Be sure to read the previous books in the series to get the full picture for this book. I highly recommend them all above any other series out there.

Hurrah for another Jo Shanks book!
My voice is hoarse from reading The Archer's Cup aloud to our eager family. What a great book!Jo Shanks is one of the kids' favorite characters, and so they really like this series in the Green Ember world. As always, the new rabbits we meet are a combination of endearing (Slimmo!) and frustrating (Cheltham...)We didn't anticipate the twists in the plot or the (very satisfactory) resolution.Heads up for parents... There is a little more boy-girl stuff in this book, which my younger kids didn't like. Personally, I find these #RabbitsWithSwords are good at illustrating relationships.My youngest had a small disappointment -- "There are no pictures!" Thankfully, we have plenty of coloring pages of Zach Franzen's illustrations from S. D. Smith's Gimme 5 Club.My voice is worn out, and so we've already downloaded the audio book which is wonderfully narrated by Eric Fritzius. I anticipate the kids will be listening to this over and over, just like the rest of the Green Ember books.
