The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1) by Acacia K. Parker

5 out of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek is book one in A Rebel Princess Serial, written by Acacia K. Parker was a gripping read that had me hooked from start to finish. This is the first book that I have read by this author. Wow I really enjoyed this short story and can’t wait until I get to read the next part in this series. The main character is well written with a strong sense of duty. The story line was unique and different.

There were some parts in this short story that reminded me of Game of Thorns but instead of Dragons we had Hell hounds. (And I loved Game of Thrones). LOL

Wren is a captain and is sworn to protect the soldiers she leads into battle, which includes preventing a potential massacre in an upcoming campaign that could mean the end of the war in hero’s. But defying orders from her Lord could mean a noose around her neck. That if she gets caught.

I don’t want to go into too much and give the storyline away but this is a must read…. I highly enjoyed it.

The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants (A Rebel Princess Serial Book 1) by Acacia K. Parker is a great afternoon read! This story is completely original and left me wanting more (in a good way). It only took me a few hours to read which is great when I need a fix but don’t have a lot of time. I can’t wait for the next episode.

4 Stars

Not my chosen genre but I love the idea about these books being a serial and am really looking forward to reading all 10 episodes. The cover drew me in and the beautiful writing kept me hooked.

A super quick read that felt like a full length novel with the amount of content, yet didn’t feel all crammed in. I really liked Wren as a main character and can not wait for the rest of her story and adventures. The fairytale retelling is awesome and this story is about strength, determination and sacrifice. It was completely Awesome.

Highly recommend

The Embers We Seek by Acacia K. Parker
Four Stars

The Embers We Seek: Prequel, War of Giants is the first book in A Rebel Princess Serial by Acacia K. Parker. This is a short paranormal book that builds a big world in a short amount of time. We are introduced to Wren and her small battalion of fighters who are trying to prevent mass casualties by going in to battle first. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Things don’t go as planned, even when you have the best laid plans, so going in with little planning leads to unexpected consequences. This fast read has me wanting more. Ms. Parker has my interest in this serial and I can’t wait for part two.

The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants (A Rebel Princess Serial Book 1) By Acacia K. Parker. While this is a short read it definitely packed a punch in the amazing writing department. From page one I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. This is my first read by this author and I’m excited for more. I felt this story was one of a kind which I loved because it’s a bit of a whole new adventure. The characters are complex and I felt a connection even in a short period of time. I can’t wait to read more from this author and see where readers are taken next! Five stars for a book that took me by surprise!

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1)The Embers We Seek by Acacia K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

War of Giants is the first book in Acacia K. Parker’s The Embers We Seek story, which is a Rebel Princess Serial. The Embers We Seek is a fantasy retelling of the Cinderella story, told in novelette-length instalments that are released every month.
As the Prequel, War of Giants has a story that establishes key characters including heroine, Wren, and the setting in the world of Heros. It’s a vibrant fantasy world with plenty of conflict, mystery and magic.
Wren is a military captain, seeking to resolve a conflict with as little loss of life as possible. She is willing to disobey her superiors and put her own life at risk to achieve this. She’s helped along the way by her friend Mor and a group of soldiers who have volunteered to undertake a risky mission. I really liked Mor and hope we learn more about her background in the coming books (I was hoping Mor was a love interest but alas, no).
I have mixed feelings about the format. It was nice to be able to get through a whole story in one sitting, but there was a lot I would have liked more time on, particularly around the climax and the consequences of it. It felt like there was a long build up to a quick conclusion. It did leave me wanting more, though, so I’ll have to read the upcoming instalments!
For me, this book gets four stars. I’d recommend it to fans of fantasy and fairy tales, particularly for readers who can’t always get through longer books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well I do believe I have found myself a new obsession with The Embers We Seek from Acacia K. Parker. I have never had the pleasure of reading anything by Ms. Parker prior to this and so I went in blind. I was sold on the book from the moment I saw the gorgeous and flashy cover and the idea of visiting one of my favorite fairy tales in a new light. I was not one moment disappointed.

Be fully prepared to devour this gem in a short time as it only contains 58 pages of story. I was shocked at how I still felt as if I had read a 200 page book by the time I had finished. I love this is going to be a serial story told in ten parts and released rather quickly at one a month until done. I am super thankful because I am already dying to know what will happen next. In the meantime I will go back and check out what else there is to see from Acacia K. Parker as I wait for them to release.

I give The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants (A Rebel Princess Serial Book 1) by Acacia K. Parker, 4 stars.

Wren, as a captain, will do anything to protect her soldiers, but also feels like she needs to protect the innocents too. She fights when she needs to, but she tries to avoid as much innocent bloodshed as possible. When her leader organizes an attack in which many will lose their lives needlessly, she decides to defy orders and try to stop as much as possible. Going against her orders may cost her life, but it would be worth it. Trouble is, will this work or will it be for nothing?

This was quite an interesting book. I enjoy Wren and think she is a great character. The story itself is different and like nothing I have read before. It pulled me in right away and I could not put it down until I finished. Not too long, it is a perfect summer afternoon read.

If you like fantasy books with a great story and interesting characters, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek:Prequel War of Giants is the first book in the Rebel Princess Serial by Acacia K Parker. It is the first book I have read by her, and while it’s not the genre I typically read, I enjoyed it. The author plans to release a new episode monthly, with a total of 10 episodes. The book is very short, and using the term as episode is a good description. The story takes place over just a couple of days, and is a small piece of what will likely be a great story. The book introduces us to Wren, Captain who is preparing her troops for battle. The goal of the mission is to try to prevent a much larger massacre, and in order to achieve that, she must turn to magical creatures for assistance. But magic always comes with a price, and Wren realizes this a little too late.

I don’t think I have ever read a book with so much energy. Wren is such a strong woman in this story of fantasy and war. This page turner is amazing. I could not put it down. This action packed book, had all my feels running at the same time. I LOVE this start of a new series. You can bet I’ll be waiting for more.

Acacia K. Parker has a great imagination! Her characters are just perfect, as well as her story. She is very descriptive in her writing of this action pack book. So much so as I could place myself in her book. I feel this will be a series well worth reading. Well Done !

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants (A Rebel Princess Serial Book 1) by Acacia K. Parker is a very short fantasy story at 58 pages but a short story that pulls out all the punches. It is a story that is going to be told over a series of books. It is a Cinderella story that is far removed from the kind of stories we are used to reading.

I look forward to reading the others.

A fairytale retelling in a land of magic and war, see Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before.

As Captain, Wren is sworn to protect the soldiers she leads into battle, which includes preventing a potential massacre in an upcoming campaign that could mean the end of the war in Heros. But defying orders from her Lord could mean a noose around her neck…

If she gets caught, of course.

Accompanied by men and women willing to accept the risk, Wren knows they need a miracle to overpower the sorceress who controls the magical creatures surrounding the city of Eius—one grand enough to win Sortis the victory they’ve been after since the War of Giants began.

There’s always a price to be had where magic is involved, though. A price she doesn’t realize until it’s too late.

One that might just cost Wren her life.

The Embers We Seek is a serial series, meaning a new episode of 8-15,000 words will be published in the last full week of every month. Cinderella’s tale will be completed in ten episodes.

Acacia K. Parker has never been the shy one. With her father having served in the Air Force for twenty years, she’s enjoyed homes in many different states, as well as an eight-year stint in Germany (and no, she doesn’t speak German, even though she really wishes she did). The odd encounters with various strangers and places morphed her brain from normal to quite unnatural, and what better way to tame the voices in her head than to become a writer?

Oh, and she’s an artist, too, although getting their faces down on paper only shuts them up for so long (but it certainly helps).

When she isn’t falling prey to the voices, Acacia enjoys jamming out to her favorite Spotify playlists, spending time with her husband, drinking wine, and hanging out with her two writing buddies, Boomer and Sookie (think eighty-pound Golden Retrievers).
