❝My Thoughts❞

Eden's Root is an explosion of the unexplainable, which makes it an wonderfully intriguing read right from the get-go. The world Rachel Fisher depicts is one of the cusp of dying out, as in the Sickness slowly taking the lives of many, crops mysteriously dying out, global food shortages, and several other events and incidents that can't exactly be explained. The outlook for survival is gritty at best and the struggle to stay alive and live another day amidst all of the confusion, proves to be even harder to do. Rachel Fisher's main character, Fi Kelly, bears the weight of an impossible deep seeded secret that is powerful enough to cause her to crumble under the pressure, yet she still remains strong in the face of adversary. She will go to any lengths necessary to protect her little sister, no matter the cost to her. She knows in order to survive, she must become the warrior she was meant to be.

The plot of this suspenseful and darkly haunting dystopian thriller, is fast paced and well developed. It's filled with fantastic character's that reader's will enjoy reading about and will find are easy to connect with. The post-apocalyptic world Rachel Fisher has built is dark and dismal and written in such a realstically terrifying way that will stay with reader's long after they've turned the last page. Eden's Root is a provacative young adult dystopian that is sure to spark an interesting book conversation amongst any young adult book club.

Eden's Root possesses the power to stun and wow reader's as they flip the pages. It is un-put-downable. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Dan Wells Partials for sure. This is a book that you will not want to miss out on. The character's are brave and strong, the evil is terrifyingly realistic that it chills to the bone, and the love for family and survival is breath taking and powerful.

Guest Post: Favorite Quotes from Eden's Root
by Rachel Fisher

In this hopeless place there was only one goal, one vision, one thought, one feeling…survival.

The air filled with song as more birds joined the dawn chorus. Fi was comforted for a moment. There was still beauty in the world.

The march of the millions slowed to a simple listless shuffle, a dirge written with the steps of exhausted feet. A steady stream of people marched across every bridge and through every tunnel that led toward the mainland. The people of New York no longer wanted to be an island.

“Be realistic, Asher,” Jeff said. “The sword does not come into the need category.”

Sean used to think of her affectionately as “his Fi,” but when he watched her now, he realized that she was never “his” and that she was barely “Fi.”

“Tell me,” Asher asked her, his tone suddenly curious. “Don’t you want not to be the Leader anymore?”

Fi smiled sadly. “Well, forgive the darkness of my sense of humor these days, but it seems like our ambition to be better than yeast in a petri dish somehow led us back there anyway.”
