A review by ruminations_reverie
Forest of Memory by Mary Robinette Kowal
3.0
2.5 stars rounded up
I think there were some choices made in this book that didn't work for it. The way that the book is written as an unedited typewriter typed document actually does the opposite and makes it feel very much forced and diminishes the effect it was going for.
Also, the story itself had something going for a while but by the end I think it lost me. I just am not picking up on what the goal of this book is. There are some conversations around reliance on technology, our disconnection from nature, and the fallibility of the human mind, but the overall impact was lacking.
This is a new author for me so I will look for some other works.
