The Hypnotist by M.J. Rose
3.0
I read the first book in this series and thoroughly enjoyed it. The third book took me more time to get interested in the characters and by the time it had me hooked I was about ready to give up on it.
The chapters themselves are short by the time you become invested in the character your reading about, the chapter ends and you're thrown into another character. It was easy for me to put the book down when I have to switch from one character to another so quickly. When I read I want to stay invested in the character. And with so many characters to "care" about at times it got a little confusing for me. Character hopping is not something I like to do.
The plot itself was engaging. The central theme revolving around Memory Tools (tools to help people revisit their past lives) and the statue of Hypnos, a statue whose origin and ownership are greatly contested throughout the book.
You don't have to read the 1st two books in the series to understand what's going on. But it helps to give a background.
All in all, I finished the book and enjoyed the twist at the end. I became invested in the characters although it took way to long in my opinion. I would recommend this book if only to those who believe the idea of reincarnation is a fascinating topic.
