Memory’s Wake by Selina Fenech
(Memory’s Wake Trilogy #1)
Publication date: June 16th 2011
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Synopsis:
Lost in a world full of monstrous fairies, a troubled sixteen year old has to find out who she is and why her memories were stolen before she is found by those who want her dead.
She takes the name “Memory” and knows she has just one goal – to find her way home, wherever that is. But this land is strange. No technology to be seen, and iron is banned, thanks to a pact the humans have with the magical creatures who share their pre-industrial era world. In her t-shirt and torn jeans, Memory knows she’s different, even before she performs impossible magic.
Haunted by her past, chased by a dragon, wanted by the king and stalked by the strange, handsome savage that seems to know her, everyone is after Memory, and she suspects it’s not just for her eye-catching outfit. Her forgotten past holds dangerous secrets that will challenge everything she believes and risk the lives of everyone she loves.
Memory’s Wake contains over 45 illustrations by the author and artist.
Review :
Memory's Wake by Selina Fenech exceeded all of my expectations.
This is one of the best indie books I have read. Fenech takes an interesting fantasy story and enhances it with her amazing artwork and crafted prose.
Memory's Wake is really the story of four teens: Memory, who gets sucked into a strange land with no idea of who she is or what's going on.
Eloryn, the girl with the secret who has been in hiding and on the run for most of her life.
Roen, the seventh son of seventh son who has to resort to thievery just to keep his family afloat.
Will, the boy who followed the girl he loves and then lost himself to the wild where only the fairies kept him safe.
I had a little trouble getting started with the book, but that's just me, I often take time to warm up to magical lands. It's that awkward first getting-to-know-you conversation. The story picks up right from the start, and maintains a very fast pace the entire time while it takes you on a journey through town, the woods, a masked ball, murder most foul, vicious kings, even more vicious dragons, magic, and a lot of running.
I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoy action, romance, and fairies of the dark kind.
