The Memory Thief

It's a 3.5 for me. It has so much potential and I really loved the concepts around the gifts, the world building and the relationships in the book.

But the pace really prevented me from enjoying it. I caught myself many times thinking “wait, how did she get there?”, “how long has passed?” Or “how far were they?”.
Do note that I listened to the audiobook, and this pace issue might be due to that specific production.

However, I think a bit more time to rest on new scenes, characters and environments, or to let the relationships blossom more organically would have made this book a stunner!
