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.

Wauw! De twist van Yarrow en Rowan is echt een mooie! De wereld opbouw gaat in dit boek nog verder en je wil eigenlijk alleen maar meer weten over deze wereld en hoe dit nu anders zou kunnen. De opbouw naar het laatste boek is heel sterk aanwezig, en ik was dus blij dat ik gelijk deel 3 kon gaan luisteren op Storytel. Ik wilde meer, wilde verder, ben verliefd geworden op Rowan (oke en Lachlan) want ze is zo'n sterk karakter. Ja, het is een échte dystopian, maar daar hou ik juist van. Voordat ik deze serie ging luisteren wist ik niet hoe erg ik dat eigenlijk heb gemist. Misschien was de inleiding wat lang, maar dat kan ook komen omdat ik het boek luister en niet lees. Met lezen ben ik altijd toch nog net iets sneller. Sterk en goed geschreven en een leuke storyline, ik ga door met boek 3.
