I’m really tempted to make this like one of those recipe blogs where they say, “I’m eager to share my homemade butternut nutbutter recipe with you, but it reminds me of my old college roommate Nutty B. Buttersworth. What a nut! Nutty and I went walking in the peanut fields outside of town on a crisp, clear, crispy-clear, very cold and crispy and clear day when he had a—you guessed it—a nutty idea….”
But I won’t. Here’s the recommended reading order.
- The Green Ember
- The Black Star of Kingston (Tales of Old Natalia 1)
- Ember Falls: The Green Ember Book II
- The Last Archer: Green Ember Archer 1
- Ember Rising: The Green Ember Book III
- The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner (Tales of Old Natalia 2)
- The First Fowler: Green Ember Archer 2
- Ember’s End: The Green Ember Book IV
- The Archer’s Cup: Green Ember Archer 3
- Prince Lander and the Dragon War (Tales of Old Natalia 3)
Flipping 8 and 9 So I Finish With Ember’s End?
One part you can easily flip, though, is 8 and 9. Sure. That might be more fun. But publication order, as seen above, is good.
Simply start with The Green Ember and you should be fine. You definitely do miss some things by skipping the Tales of Old Natalia and Green Ember Archer books and only reading the main four Green Ember Series books. I don’t recommend it.
If you have skipped them, I recommend going back and enjoying those as well! It will enhance the overall experience immensely and better prepare you for future Green Ember world adventures.
Yes. There’s more coming…
“Yes. There’s more coming…” – That is my favorite part of this update! We’ve just finished The Archer’s Cup with my children and all of us loved it. Thank you for these stories. Can’t wait for what’s coming next.
Hello!
Say…have you or any of your readers ever created a Green Ember family tree? I confess that after the first Green Ember book, I have had trouble keeping track of all of the different warrens and all of the different characters. Just an idea.
God bless you!

I, too, would like to see a family tree. Perhaps Andrew Peterson, with his love of drawing trees, would be willing to draw it. 🙂
Hello, Kelly and Kim. I help on the Green Ember Wiki, (I’m not an admin or anything.), and we have family trees for most of the characters on it. You can find it here: https://thegreenember.fandom.com/.
If you’re looking for a specific family tree, you can find them based on character, for example, the Longtreader Family Tree is on Picket, Heather, Smalls, Jacks, Whittle, Sween, Wilfred, and Garten’s pages. Some families don’t have trees, but a lot do.
I hope that that will help with your problem.
