EDUCATOR NOTES: The Martial Empire, where the Ember series takes place, is a society reminiscent of Ancient Rome, with elements of mythology from the Middle East, Pakistan and North Africa-so it can be used in discussions of literature inspired by history and mythology, as well as the importance of representation (Sabaa is Pakistani American and of Islamic faith).
