When I first starting reading this book, I had no idea of where the author was going with it. I really was not sure if I would even like it? But, I made it a third of the way in and got sucked into this alternate world created by Ms. Staldor. I quickly realized that this book was amazing and actually had a hard time putting it down. 
 Aiden is kind of a geek at his school. He has one friend, a girl he pines for and is pushed around by all the popular jocks. Never in his wildest dreams would he think that he would be the chosen one to help the land of Eden fight their war. 
 The world created by Janelle is absolutely mesmerizing and I just could not get enough. I enjoyed all of the characters. I thought that they all meshed well together. The book was mostly from Aiden's POV, but we got POV's from others as well. 
 My favorite character is Callum. He is the prince that chose to leave the pallace and side with the enemy when his brother was given the throne. (I always did have a thing for the bad boys) Anyway, we get to spend a short time with him in this book and as a reader, I fell hoplessly in love with him. He is hurt and tormented with the decision that he had made. It is after he meets Rose that we get a glimpse into how wonderful and sweet he can really be. 
 This is how I picture Callum: 
 The ending was bitter sweet and left the reader with many unanswered questions about all of Aiden's friends in Eden. Ms. Stalder gives us a glimpse into Aiden's world, but leaves a good set up for the next book with a small cliff hanger. 
 I cannot wait to get my hands on Janelle's next book where the story continues, Eden-West. 
 Thanks Janelle for everything, and no pressure, but I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!
