(Full disclosure: this book was written by my sister, so I can't deny that a certain amount of sibling bias plays into my opinion of this book!)
'The Ember Days' is a fantastic follow up to 'The Harm Tree', and I would absolutely recommend it to young adult readers who are interested in dark fantasy stories, especially if they are into Norse mythology and themes such as witchcraft. What makes this book really special is its fantastic queer/LGBT+ representation which is even better than in the first installment. Challenging and uncompromising, this novel tackles very heavy themes with sensitivity and confidence. An excellent book with a unique point of view - a must read!
