thefreckledbookworm 's review for:
The Memory Thief
by Lauren Mansy
I'm so glad I was approved for this ARC of The Memory Thief through Netgalley. I read it as soon as I got my ecopy - a short book is exactly what I was in the mood for.
I was first drawn to this book because of the absolutely stunning cover. It's also a stand-alone fantasy (we all know how rare these are!) in a dystopian world where memories can be bought and stolen.
The beginning was confusing, I felt like there was a lot of information thrown at me in just a few pages. But all of that quickly got sorted out, and I rapidly started enjoying it. This book is very fast paced, and at one point, all the twists seemed to be resolved too quickly. That's when I started enjoying the story a bit less. The romance felt predictable and a bit forced, the world building and timeline mixing together in a way that I couldn't make sense out of them anymore. I was also confused by the many characters, with similar names too
