I absolutely adored this book and cannot wait for book two!! The world building of this dystopian world and its society is so well done!

The characters and how they live, their structured and controlled society, seemed suffocating to me. But to someone who grew up there, they didn’t know anything else and most of them excepted it. But some saw the wrongness of it, and wanted to escape. The different classes of people and who was treated better than others, who suffered atrocities.

The characters were very complex, from growing up in this society. But you could see their growth, especially Minta. Fletcher and Minta are the MCs, but we get to know Minta’s friends and trainers more through her eyes.

Different reviews mentioned other dystopian series and how it compares, and I can see some comparisons, but truly it is its own world, its own story. I’m excited to read more in this complex society, especially after that ending!! I really LOVED this and highly recommend it if you enjoy a dystopian with lots of twists and turns!!

This needs significant editing, both developmental and basic in-line items. Missing words, wrong words, and duplications are plentiful throughout the book. The characters were flat and formulaic and the dialogue especially scripted (no one says the other person’s name in real conversation to this frequency …) The story was different and I was hooked to discover the resolution, but it ended on a cliffhanger. Thankfully this was only 378 pages or I would have DNF’ed it.

I do think some people will enjoy it, and if so, good for them, but I wouldn’t recommend it widely and I would warn anyone going in to be tolerant of very obviously poor editing.

The amount of times my heart raced while I was reading this book (especially that ending, whatttt). Guys. I can not wait for the final book to come! The Sophie's know how to write some amazing storylines without making it convoluted.

I'm so not ready for Zara's story to be finished - but at the same time I need to know what happens! I'm not one to try and have theories because I like to just enjoy what the authors plans for their series are. But I HAVE IDEAS. 🤣

Anyway - way to go ladies. This book was fan(g)tastic.

We are back and we literally hit the ground running from the start. We jump on this rollercoaster ride that’s fast paced, action packed, exciting and thrilling as the author does a fantastic job of pulling us back into this incredible world. There’s evil and darkness, danger and drama as we continue on this adventure with Zara to find the cure of Ewan. Shocks and surprises lurk just round the corner and I found myself on the edge of my seat more then once!

I'm absolutely in love with Zara! The books starts in the cursed realm with Zara and Winter. I love how Zara is constantly going with action packed fights, heading into everything as quickly as possible. I loved meeting new characters and seen how Zara has grown to love and protect those she cares about! The ending though had my heart racing and I need more ASAP! Sophie Davis had done it again with this series and I'm excited to see what's to come!

The Goodreads description does not match the book here, but it is best to go in blind anyway.

I loved this book! Infinite stars 🌟
Where is that option?

By far the best distopian book I have read thus far. The world makes sense, the powers, the characters, and all relationships.

Minta and Fletcher are amazing.
This one had me captivated and on the edge of my seat....
And that ending!?!

Bravo 👏

Hear me out…the entertainment value, writing style, and storyline are great. What kept this from a 4 star are some loose ends. And not the kind that make room for a sequel. While there were pieces shared about different characters’ pasts, and I like the way it was revealed piece by piece throughout the book, not everything adds up enough to make some of the character actions and motivations make enough sense. It seemed some of the context was shared but not fully delivered. But overall I enjoyed the book.

This book begins with Zara and Winter in the Cursed Realm ... and boy does the action start immediately! It's an edge-of-your-seat, page-turning thrill ride! Can't wait to see where these authors take this story next.

Fantastic Series

This is such a great series, very unique world building that sucks you in. It has one more book to go and ends on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see how this ends.

I simply can't wait

The cliffhanger is incredible, the characters are epic but relatable. The whole story really felt like how dystopian stories felt when I first started enjoying them. Not a stale retelling but a strong, immersive, new take.

I couldn't get past the firs 100 pages. I tried for 2 weeks to read this, but it never caught my interest. I can normally finish a good book in a day or two, but this one fell flat.

I am not one for dystopian or futuristic novels, and this was both but I couldn't put it down. Well done to Davis for writing a thrilling and unique book which normally I would have passed over.

I will say that the cliffhanger was diabolical and I'm looking forward to when the next book comes out so I can see what happens. All the characters had their unique quirks, even the ones you hate, which makes you want to root for them to succeed. Araminta was such an interesting character and I found myself really relating to her. The fact she has to sort her emotions into her specific boxes and lock them down really resonated with me. Her curiosity and sense of the abnormal really made me pay more attention to the odd happenings.

Fletcher was the most interesting character to me and I'm still not sure if it fully trust him at the end of the book or not. I have so many questions about his past and motivations.

While some events and conversations ended up being vague during reading I think this was more for the story progression and creating a sense of anxiety that lined up with Araminta's while reading. There were a couple of twists to the book, some that were surprising and one which was predictable for me.

Overall, if you like the genre of dystopian sci-fi or futuristic worlds, pick this one up but prepare for the cliffhanger at the end. I was unable to give it 5⭐️ due to some odd phrasing, grammar issues and spelling errors.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I got some Divergent x Silver Elite x Hunger Games vibes, but I also felt like this one was unique and different. I really liked the dystopian sci-fi world that the authors brought to life. Minta and Fletcher are both likeable characters. The citizens in this city all have different capabilities. Minta, the FMC, can see auras', and I thought that was cool. There’s also demerits and culling’s that happen in this world and it was interesting to see how all of that played out. The main characters and side characters are fleshed out and they’re all unique and different. Each one plays a role in the story. The twists and turns were great. A few I saw coming, but I was also pleasantly surprised with a few. The tension and slow burn romance between Minta and Fletcher was worth it.
There is a hook at the end of the story, but that just made me anxious for the next installment. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Perfect for lovers of:
Secrets, so many secrets
Futuristic, tech island
Extraordinary abilities
Enemies to reluctant allies to lovers
Slow-burn romance
Who can I trust?
World-ending stakes

A very special thanks to the author for the gifted copy.

When Eden Falls is what happens when what is arguably Sophie Davis's most popular novel ever, Talented, grows up. Returning to the Dystopian roots that made them famous When Eden Falls has firmly moved away from their early YA beginnings to a full-fledged dystopian novel for adults.

With a brand new compelling set of characters, plot twists galore, and a brand new universe to play in this is the best thing they have put out in a long time possibly ever. In their release announcement to their fans they commented on the number of rewrites and the amount of editing that went into this novel. It shows in the best possible way. For fans of Sophie Davis who have never missed a book, those that drifted away and new future fans discovering them for the first time this is a must read. The only down side is it's left on a cliffhanger and I have no idea how long I'll have to wait for the sequel.

Note for those that don't know Sophie Davis is a pseudonym for two author's which is why I always refer to them in the plural.

Let me preface: I do not like dystopian novels. I have also not read fantasy in a long time. That being said, When Eden Falls drew me in like the Talented Saga did years ago. As soon as I started it, I could not put it down. Great new world, interesting characters, and twists that you could guess at, but never knew exactly how they would play out. This was a dystopian novel I'll probably reread several times.

It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a book as much as this, and I'm anxiously waiting for the sequel.

Well, done, Sophie Davis. Well done.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"When did you stop hating me?"
"Who says I have?"

(I like this quote better. 🤣)

Okay so, obsessed is an understatement with this book. I love dystopian. And it's been a whole while since I've got my hands on it.

I thought about this book the entire time I wasn't reading it and now that I'm finished it's all I think about.

The atmosphere is there, the character building is fantastic, backstory beautifully woven in so as not to bore you.

Who do you trust? Everyone seems to deceive someone. And once you figure out the secrets..man.

I cannot wait to get my hands on their physical copy and see what goodies it comes with. Thank you The Sophie's for letting me read early - now it's gonna take all I've got to not think about this book until we get the next one. 😘

Talk about whiplash, in a good way. Trying to follow everything while guessing what is really going on is nearly impossible. Which I love a good mental challenge. Dystopian stories are some of my favorites, and as a girl who loved Talented growing up, I was very excited for this one.

The cliffhanger definitely caught me offguard and I am going to impatiently wait for book 2 now. Character development was spot on, the characters had depth, and we got to explore a lot about them. Minta definitely has a lot going on, but I am excited to see her journey continue.

Thank you so much for the chance to ARC read! I loved every second of this book, even if I forgot to hit post on this review for a few days!

Best dystopian I've read in a while

It's been so long since I read a dystopian novel, and I loved Sophie's Talented series years ago, so I was interested to check this one out.
I have to say I really enjoyed this book, it took me a little bit to get into it in the beginning but quickly started to enjoy it. This book has all the components to a good dystopian book, mystery, intrigue, futuristic technology, classism, villains and of course romance.
The storyline itself is not hard to work out, enough clues are given to guess at the small little twists along the way, and the enemies to lovers is easy to spot early on, but well developed.
The cliffhanger ending ... Well that I'm interested to see explained so hopefully it won't be too long until we see the next book.

I just finished When Eden Falls and binge read it in one sitting. It’s one of those books I could not put down and I haven’t done that in a really long time. I love dystopian novels but this one is a new fav!

The storyline felt so unique, and the characters were completely captivating (and sometimes frustrating but in the best possible way). Minta is a strong FMC, sassy, intelligent, and her power is relatable (you’ll understand when you read it!) I’m still swooning over Fletcher and his protectiveness over Minta. He’s swoon-worthy! And occasionally insufferable.

And that cliffhanger? Completely unfair. I need book two immediately!

When Eden Falls by Sophie Davis is an awesome book and such a fun dystopian read. The story pulls you in with a world that seems perfect at first, but the more you learn about Eden, the more you realize something isn’t right. I loved how the mystery slowly unfolds and how the main character starts to question everything she’s been taught.
It really captures the best parts of dystopian stories—secrets, control, rebellion, and that feeling that the truth is just beneath the surface. There’s also some great tension between the characters that makes the story even more engaging. Overall, it’s a really enjoyable book and definitely one I’d recommend if you like dystopian fantasy.

This book was one I didn’t want to put down. I love dystopian stories and this one makes me excited to see what’s next. As Minta and her friends discover the evil and wrongdoing in Eden we get to know each of them and their abilities. The characters are strong even though they may have been put through some very difficult circumstances. Learning what is hidden and how they will fight to have the truth known and what they will do next, is why I didn’t want to stop reading. With the cliffhanger ending I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

I do not think I have been so captivated by a story since I read the Talented Saga which is by far my fave series ever (not just by these Authors). Minta's journey is filled with action, suspense, friendship, twists and a touch of love. The way these Authors write the reader can feel everything Minta is gowing through -questioning her entire existense and who can she trust. This was a very hard book to put down and that cliff hanger ending....Ughghgh such a love/hate relationship with the Authors for leaving us hanging like that. Counting down the days till book 2

First off I'm a huge fan of the authors (two of them make the infamous Sophie Davis)!

This absolutely brought be back to dystopian and the days of Talia from Talented another series by the author.

I love the twists and unexpected scenarios that happens throughout the book... Araminta our fmc is definitely unique with how her powers are and she has to sort her emotions... Fletcher well I questioned his intentions and is he trustworthy the entire book and I still can pick a hard side of yes or no!

Cliffy yes but well worth the read!
