A review by jeaninetaniece
The Realm of Oblivion by Marae Good
3.0
“…I am fighting my own battles inside. Not sitting in it, and allowing it to win, but fighting. And it wasn’t until you walked away that I realized I was letting go of the only reason I was fighting at all.”
Ok, so this story was a little hard for me to get into at first. I am a visual person (show me not tell me) so new worlds/realms/fantasy are harder for me to imagine. I get lost in translation. Not the authors fault just how I’m wired. That is probably why I gravitate towards YA movie instead of the books. But once everything started to click in place I was totally invested.
Collins lost her memory in an accident and her life since has been spent in a prison of her parents on making. When they make one too many choices for her, she decides to stop having her life determined by others. That decision changes everything…when she meets a stranger she soon realizes her whole life belonged to someone else. The life that was hers ceased to exist along with her memories.
Aramis has spent two years searching for Aideen and he finally found her…on Earth. She doesn’t remember him, she doesn’t remember anything. Soon her past and present collide. Leaving with Aramis is her only chance of understanding and surviving.
This fantasy/sci-fi gave me some definite TVD/Hunger Game romance vibes. Second chance romance/brothers love triangle. The ending killed me! I need some answers. If I don’t get a sequel soon, I might have to Drift to Blythe myself.
