Seeds of War (Eden's Root trilogy #2)Seeds of War #2



The mission of Eden must be fulfilled and Eden’s best Seekers are needed. Forming a new group they dub the Seeders, Fi, Asher, and Sean are joined by a new addition as they set out to bring hope and support to the Topsiders in the form of radios and heirloom seeds. Their experiences Topside prepare them for the threat from marauding gangs they call Lobos, but it is a different, less obvious sort of threat that takes them by surprise. As radio broadcasts begin to reconnect Eden and the Topsiders, the Seeders stumble upon mysterious broadcasts from unknown stations. When two of their own new radio stations go silent within days of each other, Fi and her companions realize that something is terribly wrong. Eden finds itself pitted against a growing and unknown force as their very mission lights the flames of war.

It is 2033, and the world hovers on the edge of explosion as unexplained crop deaths lead to severe global food shortages. In the United States, the Sickness is taking lives slowly, creeping its way into every family. Fi Kelly has already faced the Sickness in her own family, toughening her beyond her years. But a shocking confession from her dying father will push her toughness to its absolute limits. Saddled with an impossible secret and the mission of saving her little sister, Fi sets out to transform herself into the warrior that she must become to survive the coming collapse. Along the way, she will discover that evil can be accidental and that love can be intentional.

I am a wife and entrepreneur living and working in Florida. I am also a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, where I majored in Biology. It was always my assumption that I would end up making research my life. Though it did not work out that way in the end, my passion for Biology remains intact. 



I have always loved biology-based science-fiction and the young adult genre. It is in this vein that I offer my work.

My Review

 

When reading a book I do not cheat and read ahead or peek at the ending. I had a difficult time not skipping ahead with Divergent. I could not read it fast enough and had to make myself slow down and absorb the story.

Imagine yourself at sixteen having to choose the course of your destiny. Today is the Choosing Day and Beatrice(Tris) has to choose which of the five factions she will join. She must make the right choice because there is no going back.

This story brought up many questions as I read it. Could we survive in a world where a person’s natural instincts separate them into individual factions? Would our lives be better if we lived only with other like-minded people, or would human nature take over and one faction come to believe that theirs is the only right one? Would being separated save us or destroy us?

This story flowed so smoothly that I was unaware of even being pulled into it. The characters and scenarios were so real that when I reached the end I felt like I had woken up. I wanted to go back to sleep and pick up where I left off.

I am anxiously awaiting the release of Insurgent in May, the next book in this series. I recommend this book to dystopian fans and anyone looking for action and adventure.

 

My rating: 5 STARS
