The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy
3.0

This book was ok. Oddly it’s strength and weakness were the same: it was too short. But I /loved/ that we weren’t being forced into yet another YA trilogy. But also....it all flew by too quickly and felt too neatly tied up due to its length.

I liked the ideas. Memories as currency....that’s some powerful stuff. All the “Gifts” and how they worked were presented so fast, I was lost. Particularly in how they were used at the end.

This is an interesting universe. It has the stupid romance element that is a requirement in YA fiction. It came on fast and strong.

It wasn’t my favorite, but it was enjoyable.
