stan_smith Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I received "Embers Rise" from Sophia Vixen as a gift. I like Harry Potter series and I hardly find something interesting so I was skeptical for this one. After I finally read it, I may say it is an excellent book. It has an absorbing story and the author definitely has a compelling style and very witty sense of humor. I searched for other books from this author but I did not find any. I hope there actually are some more. If someone knows any books that are similar to “Embers Rise” please share them here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Sounds like you might like Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series (and possibly, by extension, his Discworld series of books). Also, for a more contemporary take, you might want to take a look at Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan_smith Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hello, Raven And thanks for the response. I'll definitely give those a try. I've already read a book from Discworld series - Pyramids. Although it is interesting read I find Vixen's sense of humor wittier. I know that Pratchett is a famous name but I felt kinda lost in the storyline while reading it. Thanks again, I hope more people will share their opinion on the topic.

It has been a number of years since I read it, but I would say Pyramids is typical of Pratchett's books, if I remember correctly it is a little more surreal than most of his other works. I think you would find the Tiffany Aching books are more in line with what you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
