A review by thearosemary
Forest of Memory by Mary Robinette Kowal
2.0
I’ll admit my main attraction to FOREST OF MEMORY was the cover. I mean, it’s stunning. But when it came time to reading it, I couldn’t get invested.
This is more of a sci-fi story which I wasn’t quite expecting, and I’m fine with that. My issue was there was lack of description for this world and character’s positions. Even when things were explained, I was still perplexed.
Kowal had this unique writing style, and I found it fascinating how she wrote from the main character’s perspective as if she had to write it down without the help of technology, adding typos and the like.
The last quarter of the book picked up and left me intrigued, but unfortunately, I didn’t fall in love.
