Summary
Angie Redlantern is the first to spot the boats - five abreast, with men in metal masks and spears standing proud, ready for the fight to come. As the people of New Earth declare war on the people of Mainground, a dangerous era has dawned for Eden. After generations of division and disagreement, the two populations of Eden have finally broken their tentative peace, giving way to bloodshed and slaughter.
Angie must flee with her family across the pitch black of Snowy Dark to the place where it all started, the stone circle where the people from Earth first landed, where the story of Gela - the mother of them all - began. It is there that Angie witnesses the most extraordinary event, one that will change the history of Eden forever. It will alter their future and reshape their past. It is both a beginning and an ending. It is the true story of Eden.

Unfocused and rambly
A poor third novel in the series that seems to miss the point of the central plot. Repetitive and seemingly stretched to almost breaking to make enough words for a novel

Great end to the trilogy
The Eden trilogy is very good and ends on a high note. The universe created is credible and evocative and the characters are suitably beguiling and flawed. I like mother of Eden least of the three but the final segment is strong and the story telling with its tales of survival, construction of religion and hierarchies is powerful. I hope one day this gets adapted to big or small screen because a phosphorescent sunless world reminiscent of the deep of oceans really appeals to the imagination. What a great read.

Excellent conclusion to the series
Rarely is science fiction so good at exploring who we are and why we do what we do. Excellent narrative and wonderful narration. The first two books were fantastic and I almost wanted to leave Eden there, but I'm very pleased to have gone back one last time. :)

Unfortunately let down by the narration...
A decent finish to the Eden trilogy, still full of interesting characters and thought-provoking themes but, unfortunately, as an audiobook, it is rather let down by the narrator. Her accents were inconsistent, acting often over done, and the choices made about which accents to use were, at best, lacking cohesion with the earlier books and, at worst, a bit socially dubious. In a world where previously everyone had an accent stemming from the UK, all of a sudden (only ten years on from the previous book), there was a whole host of different accents and the choices of which to use for which group were worrisomely cliched (for instance a small tribal group sounding like some stereotypical assumption of an African accent). There were whole sections of the book where I was so distracted by the narration that I was focused on it rather than the book's content.
All in all, I'd say it's still worth a listen if you want to finish the series but haven't the time to read the book, but if you do have time, perhaps you'd enjoy it more (and get more from it) by reading it yourself.

Brilliant rendition of a brilliant story
This has the slowest start of the Eden trilogy, but it plays the long game, and develops its themes superbly. What brings the characters and story to life is one of the best solo performances, by Imogen Church, I have heard.

Fascinating, amazing and addictive
Rarely do I listen to 3 books in a series back to back, but I couldn’t resist. The wisdom and the stories are compelling. Great narration too.

Skip the first part of the book, still ruined by the performance
I was so looking forward to this book. the first two were well performed (audible) and the story was page turning. Then this book, with a single novice performance with painful attempts at accents reading the most dull stroyline. luckily part 2 onward started to become interesting, however the main character and her storyline just ruined the book. I don't think I've ever finished a series so disappointed.
