Ristan Abel is a fairly normal young teenage boy dealing with the troubles of his age: bullies, social mockery, and young love. Yet he's got much more to contend with than your average high schooler, as he finds himself coming of age in the uncharted and dangerous new world Eden, initially colonized as an escape from Earth's destruction.In the decade since their arrival, the wounded human clan has made their way in this land surviving, not thriving. Their outpost is but a small piece of what Eden has to offer, and their encounters with its native species both terrify and confuse them into a stasis only perpetuated by the constant fight for survival. The true depth of the situation and their relationship with the Zikalic unfolds in ways no one expected.Eden, Dawn is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in young adult sci-fi/fantasy. I eagerly await what the remaining books have in store.
