12/30/2015 Edited: Okay now that I have had time to process my thoughts and have also finished part 2, Finding Eden, I feel like I can more accurately post my review of part 1, Becoming Calder. I loved this book but more importantly, I loved these two books together. You can not read one without the other and therefore I think that creating one large book with both parts in it would be better. I didn't like having to wait to continue the story until I had the second book. I'll tell you what though, I have never been in such a hurry to get a copy of a book so I could finish reading Calder and Eden's story. Becoming Calder was heart wrenching and it was worth every second. Such a wonderful story. I love how unique this story was from so many others. Rating the two together, I would definitely call Becoming Calder and Finding Eden an epic win. A story that should be read and then will likely be reread repeatedly. 5 stars, without a doubt. 
 12/26/2015 What in the absolute fuck!?! I think I need some time to process what I just finished reading before I can properly review. For now, I can say that what would have been a 4.5 -5 star book just got knocked down to 3.5 - 3.75 stars because of the cliffhanger ending. Since Becoming Calder evidently continues on with the book Finding Eden, I'll have to wait for the hopefully happy ending I'm waiting for. Right now I'm full of all sorts of strong emotions from Becoming Calder. Why must you do this to me, Mia Sheridan?
