Great review. I like the sound of a heroine without supernatural powers. Sounds like she'll have to arrive even harder than normal to come out on too and that has to be exciting.

Good job on the review! The plot kind of reminds me Divergent, I might just have to read it :)

Thanks for the great review! I like that you pointed out the age groups that could read this story. It's always nice to know who the audience should be.

You dont often see, in a fiction world where some people has superpowers that the hero of the story is the one without superpowers, thats great! Thank you for your review.

I love dystopian books with developed and varied characters. You certainly had me hooked.

Good job on the review!

Great review! I am a big fan of dystopian novels, especially those written for the YA audience as I feel they tend to have a lot more feelings of hope than adult dystopian books. I like that Escape to Eden appears to be different, as the YA dystopian genre has really taken off in the last few years. I think it's especially nice that Sage, the protagonist, is not only female but also has no special powers. This sounds like a great read, thanks for the review! I will definitely be checking this one out! :techie-studyingbrown:

Your review certainly makes me intrigued by this book. Sage sounds like such a developed and likable character. On top of that, the genre is Dystopian, which is one of my favorites. I might have to give this one a read. Thanks for the great review!

You're so lucky you got to review this book! I really love this author and can't even spoil any part of this book by actually finding out what it is about. All I need to know is that it is dytopian and that Rachel wrote it, and I'm already hooked. Haha.

Great review ? I absolutely love this genre. Your review makes it irresistible with the fast paced action and adventure. The think that hooked me most to grab my KU copy wasI "When she wakes with no memory of her past, the only clue she has are the words "Run Now" written on her hand." I now have to read this book ASAP. Thank you ?
