What readers are saying about Eve of Eridu
I think it would be a huge understatement to say that I enjoyed this book. I absolutely love this story. You could say that I've gone "old world crazy" for it. I couldn't put down this intelligent, gripping, dystopian YA science fiction thriller. I read it over just two days. I'm blown away by Alanah's skill and talent for complex, imaginative world building, and the ability to create strong and realistic, relatable characters, all while weaving an intriguing storyline with a profound message. Alanah is an incredibly talented writer. Definitely one to watch! I look forward to reading more of her work. I gave it five stars only because I couldn't give it more. - 5 star Amazon review by Monnath Books
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I honestly can't fault this book at all! Eve is such a likeable character and I went through every single emotion she felt with her, even ending the book with a giant sense of loss about all Eve has been through. Alanah is an amazing writer, with a great eye for descriptions and imagery. This is one of those books that I can already see being made into a movie. - 5 star Amazon review
Eve of Eridu seems inspired by dystopian styles, but it has its own voice. I found myself easing into the story, enjoying every chapter, and looking forward to the next. Alanah Andrews has an engaging style of writing that is neither too much introspection or too heavy on action. If you enjoy light dystopian reads, then this book would be a great addition to your TBR list. - 5 star Goodreads review
I found this hard to put down at times and I'm hoping this will be a series - 5 star Goodreads Review
Fans of popular dystopian novels would definitely eat this one up. It kind of reminded me of The Giver mixed with Divergent.
