Summary: 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. (Taken from Goodreads)
Thoughts: As a huge science fiction fan I was super super excited to read Eden’s Root. Not to mention I’m a total sucker for apocalyptic novels. I’m really happy to say that Eden’s Root is simply brilliant!
From the very first page I was hooked into Fi’s world and everything that happened with in it. I really admired Fi for her courage and how much she did for her sister. I loved how Fi just got right into things and was prepared for what was to come.
Rachel is a fantastic author. The writing style is simple yet it flows in a brilliant manner and I found it difficult to put this one down at times. I’m definitely interested in reading more from Rachel.
I would highly recommend Eden’s Root and I just know I’m going to be gushing about this one for weeks to come. If you love science fiction and apocalyptic novels then I strongly suggest you read this one!

I've read Eden's Root. What an adventure and Fi is terrific, a strong girl leading the way.
