Eden's Root by Rachel FisherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The year 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.-Goodreads.
How can I say this without sounding rude?... I loved this book, but got really scared, not roller-coaster-ride scared, but I-have-seen-a-ghost scared. 2033 is AWFULLY close. And the way the author kills humanity is too realistic. I love how she showed us every single detail of Fi's training. Some might say that it should be brief and not so many details to invoke the reader's curiosity. I say the more details the better, I'm reading because I want to sleep in 2 hours or so, I don't want my imagination running wild and giving me freaky nightmares.
This book made me feel weak, just like in the Hunger Games. You know that this end-of-the-world is coming, and those fiction books are giving you a way to avoid it, but you can't use any weapons, Hell, I can't even ride a Bike!! *sigh*
Anyways, I did enjoy the book so very much, and would definetly recommend it :)
