Welcome to our stop during Julie Kagawa's The Eternity Cure blog tour. The Eternity Cure is book 2 in The Blood of Eden series. We are very excited to be apart of this tour. This is one series we recommend highly to everyone.
In this blog tour things are a little different. Everyone participating in the tour was given a post idea and we then had to create our own post. The theme of the tour is Vampire vs. Human.
OUaT's assigned post is:
What are the Dangers of being Human in the Blood of Eden World....or what might be the Advantages?
In the Blood of Eden world is there really a advantage in being Human? When the majority of the world is Vampires, how can being their food supply really be in favor to a human. I honestly can't think of one good reason why I would say I rather stay human given the choice. You live your life in hiding if you are not registered. If you are registered you still live a life of being a vampire's personal blood bank. You are the cow to them. When they need milk they come and drink. That too me doesn't sound exciting or worth-wild. Then if you are not a registered, comes the constant looking over your shoulders. You have to live in the worst condition, go days without a decent meal or even water. Does any of that sound like an advantage to you yet?
I would assume if you are reading this, you are shaking your head no. Of course worrying about
surviving as a human doesn't end there. Since you are living as a unregistered in the fringe, you also run the major risk of running into Rabids when you cross the boundaries in search of food or supplies. Where is peace in any of that?
Well as a human there is a place known as Eden. If you find it and make it there alive, then maybe just maybe you start to see an advantage. This Eden you hear of, is a colony of humans living well guarded and freely. They are well hidden from any Vampire cities. If you are a human and are able to live in Eden, then you are one of the lucky ones. Otherwise I say to live in this world I would risk being turned into a Vampire even if I might become a Rabid. Be the milk drinker and not the cow!!!
So lesson of this story, if you exist in The Blood of Eden world and are a human, you need to risk getting tuned into a Vampire. Now if you are friends or know Allison or Zeke, then maybe just maybe sticking with them, you might find Eden and can live a semi decent life as a human.

About Julie Kagawa
Julie Kagawa was born in Sacramento, California. But nothing exciting really happened to her there. So, at the age of nine she and her family moved to Hawaii, which she soon discovered was inhabited by large carnivorous insects, colonies of house geckos and frequent hurricanes. She spent much of her time in the ocean, when she wasn’t getting chased out of it by reef sharks, jellyfish and the odd eel.
To pay the rent, Julie worked in different bookstores over the years, but discovered the managers frowned upon her reading the books she was supposed to be shelving. So she turned to her other passion: training animals. She worked as a professional dog trainer for several years, dodging Chihuahua bites and overly enthusiastic Labradors, until her first book sold and she stopped training to write full-time.
Julie now lives in Louisville, Kentucky, where the frequency of shark attacks are at an all-time low. She lives with her husband, two obnoxious cats, one Australian shepherd who is too smart for his own good and the latest addition, a hyperactive Papillon puppy.
