review 1: It seems this may be more the first chapters of a bigger book than a book on its own. I'm guessing, though I haven't read any of the other books in the series, that it's Lord of the Rings style, or Mark of the Lion style, where the story doesn't really resolve until the end of the last book. This book had some conclusions, but not of the main story. Also, there were multiple references to past events and character interactions. I felt like this couldn't really be Book One because these characters have histories together. I felt like I'd missed something. I kept checking the first and last pages for references to this author's other books to see if anything looked like a prequel. All past events are explained to the point that reader understands, though. So it may be the fi... morerst book, just with a unique style.I agree with others that it was slow moving. The first day lasts until page 197. The history, family tree, and map at the beginning of the book come in quite handy, especially as you just begin to read.
review 2: Years ago I read almost all of Linda Lee Chaikin’s books, but for some reason haven‘t read any for a long time. Really sorry I haven’t kept up with her, but will from now on. “The Spoils of Eden” is book one in Linda Chaikin's newest series The Dawn of Hawaii. I can’t wait for the other two. I just finished reading “The Spoils of Eden” by Linda Lee Chaikin and totally loved it. I really love her style of writing and how at the beginning of her books she always has a list of the characters, a family tree, Hawaiian terms {for this one} and a map of where the story takes place. I love how the author talks about the beautiful places in Hawaii. She talks about the wonderful flowers, plants, trees etc.. This book also has many parts that really happened in Hawaiian history, with real names of people who have played important roles in this history.Eden Derrington and her fiancé Rafe Easton have many things going for them, but also have more than their share of problems. Eden, has to decide if she wants to work with her father and his dream of curing leprosy or being with the man that she has loved since a very young age. “The Spoils of Eden” is full of mystery, love, family problems and many more problems. Something for every one. I highly recommend this book. It will become one of your best loved books. I really, really like this book.A free copy of this book was provided for me from Moody Publishers for review purposes only. I’m free to review this book any way I like. less
