wanderer222 's review for:
The Memory Thief
by Lauren Mansy
Mediocre YA fantasy. I like YA fantasy--I read all the Hunger Games & Harry Potter books. They can be a delightful break from the more grim/serious adult fantasy. However, this one was irritating. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator's childish, cartoon-like voice was distracting. The plot conceit is cool (a world where people can steal each other's memories), but there was WAY too much exposition, as if this were Book 2 in a series (so, so much backstory). The characters are two-dimensional and cliche. The bad guys are very very bad, the good guys very very good. All of it was just too predictable and boring. On the bright side, it was a short book. I put it on in the background while I was doing other things, and often lost track of the story. I didn't bother rewinding.
