A review by booksandroswell
Last Memoria, by Rachel Emma Shaw
5.0
*I was sent this book by the author in exchange for an honest review*
I was taken completely by surprise with how much I loved this.
You are thrown straight into the story from the first page with an unreliable narrator called Sarilla who gets her memories mixed up with those that she has stolen. Most of this story takes place on the road with the end destination constantly changing so you never know where it’s going to end up.
The narrative changes half way through the book and you begin to follow Falon, who has had 6 months of his memories stolen by a Memoria - a "monster" that steals memories. All he wants is to regain the memories that he's lost.
I couldn't put this book down and loved the use of internal struggles throughout to explore and make you question what really makes a monster.
The writing style in this book is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else this author will write.
