Before/when The Division: Ember's Quest, it is important to note that this is Book One. If you are expecting a resolution - don't! This book will give you no resolution - only a cliff hanger. On the good side, it will leave you want ing more. Ember's Quest will appeal to Middle Graders and above - anyone with their feet firmly in the YA fantasy pool. The characters are interesting, although some of the lesser characters could have been fleshed out a little more - especially the brothers. Ethan and Evan There is little detail about their role/place in Ember's life before the quest, but for those who love acton packed adventure - this is non-stop action. If you have to stop reading, you will be dying to get back to it - so much so, that I had to read it all in one sitting! It is immersive and interesting with the people of Division under threat from the eternal war of the elementals. Can't wait to read more!

Thank you Netgalley and the author for the e-book, and for the opportunity to read it in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. I had forgotten how YA books just drag you into the story and make you not want to put the book down. I really liked the story, even though in the beginning you get a bit confused, you just have to keep on reading. The characters are lovely, would have liked a bit more of a backstory to some but not a big deal. The writing was good, for young readers it's perfect but, I would put the pronunciation guide before the first chapter or just at the end. It's easier that way. Fast-paced, great story, good writing, and a very nice plot, it's an easy 4 star read for me.

I'd totally recommend this book for kids or teens between 13-16 years old, a great way to get into reading.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book.

To summarize: Whoa!!! I can't wait for the next book in the series. If this was Book 1, I am waiting to see how the author is going to top this one up! :)

This was mesmerizing, enchanting, held my attention throughout. Finished it in two straight sittings .. it was that good!

I loved how enough time was given to build the world and the characters. Lovely!

I really enjoyed this book and I read it quickly in one sitting. It was well written with a captivating storyline and well developed characters. It was a gripping read.
