The second book in the Children of Eden trilogy starts with Yarrow. She is a rich elite girl in Eden who is the daughter of one of the most powerful women in their world. She goes to the exclusive Oaks boarding school and her friends make everyone's lives miserable who dare get in their way.
One day a girl named Lark shows up and thing change. Yarrow starts to discover there are things about her she needs to uncover. She is not who she thinks she is, and discovering that puts her in danger. The fate of second born children rely on Yarrow uncovering memories she didn't know she had.
Okay - I am glutton for punishment. I hate giving up on trilogies - especially when I am just listening to them when I am running errands. So I decided to keep going with this series. It didn't get any better in the second book from the first. I liked how it started - thought that we might be going somewhere. But alas - the writing hasn't improved. Or the character development. It quickly became predictable just like the first book. The one swear word is back. So....I think I am done.

I genuinely don't know if I even care to read the next book. It's just the same book? Like, I can see your bones Graceffa and it ain't coming up fresh.
the only saving grace of this book is the relationship between her and Lark. Lachlan is mid, but Lark is brave and selfless. I like her but yes. We get it, girl indoor can't go outdoor, girl goes out door twice and gets into trouble, yadda yadda sidekick murders, brave heroics, self-sacrifice. Tell me something new.
