My place beside you, my blood for yours. Till the Green Ember rises, or the end of the world.

Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events overtake them, spilling them into a cauldron of misadventures. They discover that their own story is bound up in the tumult threatening to overwhelm the wider world.

Kings fall and kingdoms totter. Tyrants ascend and terrors threaten. Betrayal beckons, and loyalty is a broken road with peril around every bend.

Where will Heather and Picket land? How will they make their stand?

Review
This story has so many good things in it! The characters were great and their struggles were so real. At first I thought it was going to be weird what with them being rabbits and all but, really, I forgot they weren’t human! XD I absolutely loved Heather and Pickett and can’t wait to continue their journeys!

That being said, I mean, I really did enjoy it. But at the same time I don’t entirely understand the huge hype surrounding this book. Maybe I’ll understand better as I continue the series? It was incredible and I would love to reread it! But, yeah. That’s why I didn’t give it five stars because I didn’t fall in love with it like I thought I would.

I would definitely recommend it though! It was super fun and I loved a lot of things from it! Truly, an incredible story!!
