I want to start off this review saying that i skipped the middle book, Random Winds, for personal reasons.
Out of the two I did read, I have to say that Evergreen was my favorite. I just love a story where you follow a character's entire life.
I also loved the love story between Anna and Joseph. Although, i wasn't too fond of her seeing the other man, Paul.
Eden buring was pretty good. I liked the story and the characters.
All in all, the two stories were wonderful reads! Both get 5 stars!!
