The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
3.0
I had kind of put this novel off to the side and finally picked it back up.
I'm glad I did.
"The Lost Girl" is about an echo. This echo has to live someone else's life in order to replicate it. We watch as the echo grows into her own person, and realizes that she can't pretend anymore. We get to watch the echo transform and create her own identity, even though that is something she shouldn't have.
There is only one thing that I'm not sure about in this novel and that it the ending. I'm not sure how I feel about it. There was certainly some action, but the way that the action ended and the decision? I'm not sure about that. I don't know if I like it or I don't like it. I'll let you know if I ever really figure it out.
The novel flowed nicely, and there were some action scenes. The only thing is that I wanted a little bit more information on the Echos and their lives, the Loom and the Weavers. I felt like we could have received a little bit more info on that stuff. I think it would have helped put things in perspective a little bit more as well as the fact that I'm curious about what happens in countries where Echos are legal.
Definitely an interesting novel. One to check out if you are into the cloning type stuff.
