The Blight (Eden's Root Trilogy 0.5)
by
Rachel Fisher (Goodreads Author)
Given my own enthusiasm for this sort of thing, I’ve decided to release the original backstory of Eden’s Root. For those of you who love the science-fiction aspect of Eden’s Root, I think this will be a winner. I also wanted to reveal this to show how drastically a story can change from first to last drafts. This entire backstory was in the first version. It is MUCH more i...more

I loved that backstory! I have to admit that i'm glad we got the chance to read it, but separate from the first book. It's heavy in informations and if the book had started that way it could have slowed the pace and maybe discouraged the type of readers who need to get started with the main point of the story fast! I also have to say that i'm glad i waited until i read the second book before reading it because it helped me understand a lot of small informations we got throught the books and sinc...more
The Blight is the prequel to the Eden's Root Trilogy. It provides the backstory to the famine and the building of Diasporia and Eden. The reader discovers the reasons for the crops dying off, the reasons behind the famine, and the bureaucracy involved in the plans to save humanity - or at least some of humanity. It was really interesting. Not being that into biology and such, some of it was a little over my head, but I like knowing "WHY." and learning about motivations of those in charge and all...more
MY REVIEW
After finishing read the whole trilogy I couldn't believe that was it! You know when a series is so good you want it to go on forever, that's what I felt with this series. So I had previously tried to get hold of a copy of this prequel novella but had thought it only available in the US. Imagine my surprise and joy when I found it available at Amazon.co.uk!! So I immediately purchased this novella.
The cover is really good and totally represents the novella perfectly. there's the lines o...more

I absolutely LOVED this! The Blight contains all the information I felt was lacking in Eden's Root that I was craving for. We learn so much more about how the crop deaths began, who is responsible, and we get to see the events leading up to the global starvation. It's absolutely devastating, but incredibly interesting! I definitely recommend reading this if you read Eden's Root and were hungry for more information and backstory!
A decent prequel to the Eden's Root Trilogy. The reader learns about the back-stories of some the characters that show up and/or are referred to and gets the back-story of the causes leading up to the apocalyptic world that the characters face in the novels.
I liked this book. I have not read Eden's Root yet but this book gave a good base and I plan to start the trilogy now. It had good character development but didn't go into too much detail. It is a good intro for the main story.
A good prequel to the Eden's Root series. I think I did gain a bit more insight to the characters and dilemma they are put into. Most of all, as applies to the series, this is a great warning to all. These books show how it is and it could easily get as bad as Ms. Fisher's books portray if more people don't heed the warning.
I do think that reading this first will prepare the reader for the rest of the series. Though it isn't centered on Fi but rather what her parents and their generation went t...more

I keep meaning to read this. I have it bookmarked and everything, and I've read part of it. I dunno, I'll get around to it eventually :-)
Great backstory, loved getting to read more about how the Famine happened!
