Product Information

Seeing as it’s been about a year since the last update I was curious how progress has been on book two. All the best to you and yours in the new year! I’m a big fan of your work! Just reread The Ember Blade again…. holding breath for No 2. Hoping you all all you love are safe and well. Jill Summer

Strikes a magnificently fine balance between classic epic fantasy and grimdark fantasy, making this an amazing start to a new trilogy' Novel Notions Excited about The Ember Blade. Looking pretty…uh…lit? As the kids say. Also, I think its a mixture of 2016/2017 and Mr.Wooding. The combination is almost unbearable, but we got this.The Sards are a combination of Gypsies (traditionally nomadic life, work as entertainers, are despised as thieves) and Jews (ethnic minority living in ghettos on major cities). Have read the Ember Blade, loved it, cant wait for the next book. I am a big fan, have read and re-read the Ketty Jay series and actually appreciate that you put so much work into your writing instead of blog updates. Wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year.

The good news is that this last part of the book is on firmer ground. I was pleased that at times our assumptions, used to delimit our original caricatures, suddenly become more complicated. Some of the bad guys are not as bad as we first thought and some of our heroes are given greater depth and a more complicated aspect. The story eventually becomes, in places, something richer, more complex and more gripping. By the end, it is actually an exciting read. Although there is a now-typical cliff-hanger ending, there is enough resolution to make the reader feel that the journey (so far) has been worth it. FANTASY BOOK REVIEW The Ember Blade is everything I could possibly want in an epic fantasy novel, and so much more. Buy this book as soon as it is available. Thrown into a prison mine they plan their escape - only to be overtaken by events when they're rescued, and promptly find themselves in the middle of an ambush. By the time they've escaped, they're unavoidably linked to Garric - their unwelcome saviour - and his quest to overturn to Dachen way of life. Death of the Hypotenuse: Aren and Cade both begin to develop feelings for Fen. This triangle is resolved when Cade dies during the escape from Hammerholt.

I’m half way through this book. It’s horribly boring. I’ve been a reader all my life and so I understand plot and character development are important, if at times tedious. But you expect a story to take off and fly by a third of the way in. This just doesn’t. Man, I just finished the audiobook of the ember blade and I have to say it was amazing. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. The ending though was especially amazing and I was hanging on the edge of every word up until the final few sentences. Just wow. Great work. Implacable Man: Once a dreadknight has caught your scent, it will pursue you to the ends of the world without rest or mercy. Only some seriously powerful magic will be enough to prevent them from following you and make them lose the scent. Fantastic Nuke: Elarite oil is a highly unstable substance produced as a byproduct of elarite mining operations that can be detonated by any spark and emits fumes capable of igniting the air itself. Eight wine barrels worth of the substance note A dozen wine barrels each 2/3 full can produce an explosion powerful enough to demolish an entire fortress and burn down what is left in a blaze that can be seen hundreds of miles away. And we’re also privy to the real purpose of the story: to obtain The Ember Blade before it is given, in an act of subjugation, to the Krodans. The last part of the book is a heist story, with the eclectic group attempting to get The Ember Blade from the hands of the Krodans and generate a revolution amongst the oppressed Ossians.

It hasn’t gone out to international publishers yet as we’re still (!) editing, so no US date as yet. It will almost certainly end up coning out later than the UK version though.Chris Wooding grew up in a small town in Leicestershire, where not much of anything happened. So he started to write novels. He was sixteen when he completed his first. He had an agent by eighteen. By nineteen he had signed his first book deal. When he left university he began to write full-time, and he has been doing it professionally all his adult life.
