TROUBLE IN THE GREEN LANDS (SEEDER WARS #2) is full of sci-fi action. J. Houser delivers another page-turner in her series about botanical beings and an age-old war between two cultures.
Saff, now married, tries to adjust to her routine in the Green Lands. She uses her powers of healing and grows a garden. Her life is going well, except for the ever-present war between her people, the Seeders, and the Ivies.
Rachel, a high schooler in the town where Saff lived before her bloom, begins to "bloom" and realizes that she has a decision to make that will determine the rest of her life. She has a great boyfriend, a fantastic best friend, and a good adopted family. What will she choose?
The Ivies are changing their strategies, and it could be devastating for the Seeders. One young person takes a stand, but will it be soon enough to end the war? Can anyone be trusted?
I have enjoyed the books in the series, and I look forward to the next one. This book was more involved, and I liked the insights into the daily responsibilities of the Seeders. The characters have depth, and I'm glad the author layered her characters to make them relatable, even though they weren't human.
I was given a free e-copy of the story for my review. My opinions are my own.
I recommend the book for young adults and experienced readers who enjoy coming-of-age tropes with action and fantasy/sci-fi elements.
