I LOVE Lauren James, and this book is a brilliant example of why she is an auto-buy author for me. Fantastic characters and unexpected turns throughout a non stop plot, the attention to detail in Green Rising makes it a strong contender for my favourite fantasy of the year.

Without warning, teenagers around the world are starting to demonstrate incredible abilities to rapidly grow plantlife. Different people use their powers in different ways, but it quickly becomes clear that these abilities may be the answer to helping the climate crisis.

James cleverly includes snippets from social media, websites and new outlets to build a world beyond even her storytelling, and I am obsessed with every bit of it. I even finished the book slightly disappointed that the events were all fictional!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
