‘Emergence’, the last novel in Rachel E. Fisher’s
breathtaking trilogy ‘Eden’s Root’, proves to be a moving, cathartic closure to
the series. While I always focus on Fi, the truth is, I fell in love with all
of the characters, especially Asher and Sean.
Without dropping plot bombs here, I will only say that I
applaud the way these characters have grown through their trials and heartache
but still –always- maintain a sense of youth and spark. Even in their darkest
hours, even when Fi is in “the nothing”, I never lose sight of what makes her her.
As the war with the Truthers rages, I still see Fi for Fi, Asher for Asher,
etc… Fisher’s characters do not grow into strangers, changing too fast for
readers to comprehend. They grow into themselves. They flourish in dust and blood
as real people do.
Fisher doesn’t hold back. She never has. That’s what makes
the ‘Eden’s Root’ series great. But I will admit, while I usually shy away from
such endings, I did have a rewarding smile on my lips as I read the final
pages. I felt a wholeness, and that is quite a feat for an author to
accomplish.
I loved it! Fisher brings the series to a close with heart.
