The Memory Theater by Karin Tidbeck
4.25
Thistle and Dora are captives of a sort; Thistle as the unwilling servant of Lady Augusta and Dora as the disinherited daughter of Lord Walpurgis, both nobles of the Gardens. The Gardens is a place caught in one endless, repeating day of revelry and torture. To say it's an unpleasant place to live is beyond an understatement. Hopefully Thistle will find a way to reclaim his name before he grows too old to be a servant.
As a story, this brought up a lot of nostalgia for all manner of local folklore and stories I've grown up with. It brought me into a "fairy tale" mood. Loved everything about the memory theater itself, especially the montage. The ending didn't surprise me, which was a bit of a let down, but not in a way that ruined the book for me or anything like that. Worth a read, definitely!
