The Memory Thief by Jodi Lynn Anderson
5.0
This immediately grabs you and doesn’t let go. Literally, heart-pounding adventure from the start. Each chapter solves one puzzle piece and gives a hint of the next one needed. Great for a read together story, though it may keep everyone up past their bedtime because you won’t be able to stop!
Anderson does such a brilliant job breathing life into all her characters, whether witch or girl or ghost. Her background mythos is unique and beautiful with a moon goddess, cloud shepherds, phantom blue birds, ghost spiders, and more. I also love how there is no sympathy towards her witches. These are not misunderstood old ladies from cozy folktales, or cartoonish bad guys from Disney fairytales, these witches are scary. Looking forward to more in this series. Highly recommended.
If you listen to the audio book, the narrators slightly European lilt adds the perfect youthful tone to rosies voice. It is delightful.
