Dividing Eden | 
pick#2021Book53
I already knew I liked Charbonneau's writing before I started this book, but this one sucked me in even more quickly than I expected. I had to force myself to put it down at night so I could go to bed, because I just wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. The characters are great and you never truly know what side anyone is on. I can't wait to get my hands on the second book!
so-soThis would have been better if the storyline didn't depend on the kids not talking to each other. Like talk to your brother! And talk to your sister dude! So much could have been avoided... Or even have made the plot a little thicker with deception/the breaking of trust. But... Overall a good book. Already planning on picking up the second one in couple books.
so-soThis is one of those books that is "just fine." Carys is an interesting character and by the end of the book I got really curious as to where the 2nd books is gonna go. Her brother was not as solid a character.
pick3⭐'s. It took me awhile to get into this book but once i did it got good. Like really good. There was so many secrets and betrayals it was crazy. I can't wait for the next one.
Trying to reread dividing eden, my reading buddies are making that a little difficult
so-soIt took me FOREVER to finish this. The plot was good, the characters had quirks, fears, and emotions, all of which make a good character, but there could have been so much more depth. This book needed fleshing out badly. It had all the elements of a great read, but was flat, slow and didnt get good until the last 1/4 (which made me glad I didnt abandon it). If the sequel is anything like the last part of this book, I will definitely read it!
I have been excited for this book since the day I saw the trailer on EpicReads! Dividing Eden is my pick for the "Characters That Are Twins" prompt of the #PopSugar2018
✨The cover for #dividingeden is kinda simple, but I really love it! The book sounds so good too. I can‘t wait to get to it...eventually. 😂😂😂✨
Super excited to start a new read! The first in my PopSugar challenge!
pickI absolutely loved dividing eden. I finished it within a day and can't wait to fimd out what happens next
panFrom the first few lines of this book, I felt I was in for something awful. The characters are all unlikeable. I‘m curious where this story goes but not enough to actually pick up the next book in this series.
so-soThe siblings spent a lot of time trying to hide “secrets” that were not such a big deal, and also the villain reveal was kind of predictable. Good ending though!
I have wanted this book since the moment I saw it. It's finally mine!!!
pickI finished this one in a day and a half as I could seem to put it down! Loved how the story was more focused on the sibling relationship rather than romantic ones (getting sick of the usual love triangles so it was a nice change). Can't wait for the next book 😊

Just donated 2 sacks of books to my local high school library! Feels weird looking at a shelf with only a few books on it. Currently reading: Dividing Eden (not pictured).
#newauthor. And I know this is getting chosen for an important list later this year. #awesomeautumnbooks

pickOk so I knew nothing about this book other than that the author is really cool. I was discouraged when I saw the not so great reviews coming in so I put off reading it. But let me tell you - this story was one of the best I have read all year. Sure it needed some polishing here and there but it blew me away and I cannot tell you how excited I am for the next one 💛💙
so-soThis book really did not pick up for me until the last quarter. The characters were inconsistent, having huge personality and thought changes without any reason or explanation. And there were a ton of misunderstandings that could have been fixed with a single conversation. That said, the end was pretty good.
pickFinished this audiobook. I liked this book way more than I was expecting to. It takes talent to make readers hate characters with a passion and that's how I feel about 2 specific here. It was obvious who was behind the plotting though.
Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.

panI loved Carys, but i hated Andreus the moment we are introduced to him. Not only that, but for twins who are inseparable they were very easily separated.
The way the book was written wasn't appealing, and it had me struggling to remain invested in the story.
It breaks my heart when I don't like a book, but I did like certain elements (i.e. the plot, Carys, the vague magic that made no sense but totally called from the get-go).
2.5⭐️
Currently Reading ?
I'm starting this tomorrow because I literally just finished Battlemage and I need a minute to recover. Seriously. I'm sat there like *bites nails* "he wouldn't really do that...would he?!" Frantically trying to remember if it's a YA or for younger children ?? *breathes* okay. I'm good. Right.
I'm looking forward to starting this one because I've heard nothing but good things! ?

Freedom was a mirage. It taunted and promised a great deal as it hung just out of reach.
so-soRead this for a book club.
My thoughts on the book can be found here: https://zanybibliophile.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/dividing-eden/
pickLove love loved the book!!! Can't wait for the next one!! Must read! Plus i can't get over how gorgeous the cover is!!!!
Getting some morning snuggles from the Allie cat as I read my book & wait for my sister to get up. At least Allie likes me. Her other cat Gunner is kind of a jerk 😂 Quality kitty time 😍🐱
"Even if I am pushed away or pushed down, no matter how bloody or beaten I might be, I will rise and fight again. Because I will be fighting for you." — Princess Carys
bailedThis is what out reviewer had to say about @charbonneau_joelle's newest #fantasy YA release #DividingEden "A breathtaking read....Besides the characters, the artfully-crafted plot made it impossible to put down DIVIDING EDEN, proving to be another one of my favorite aspects of the book."
pickIt was bit slow to start off; but when it picked up, I couldn't put it down! The book is full of adventure, political intrigue, sibling rivalry, and PLOT TWISTS!! It also reiterated the fact that you can never trust a priestess. Overall, It is a must read for 2017.
pickEnjoyed the first book in the series. Looking forward to what's next.
so-soLike Hunger Games but between twins for the throne. Reminded me of Three Dark Crowns. Just a little slow in the middle but it picked up and the end left me like WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?!??
