Surprisingly satisfying sequel!
Published by PetaAshleigh , 1 month ago
Not gonna lie, I started this book and was immediately worried it wouldn’t meet the standard of its predecessor ‘The Forgetting’… But, once I realised we had jumped forward in time and had new characters, I understood the time necessary to set up these new characters before we discovered their connections to the previous book (if any).
What I just adore about this book (and book 1) is how comprehensive the world building is. Imagining the trees, the stone walls and mirrored halls, the texture and vibrancy of their clothes is easy! It really is very well done 👏🏼.
And this time, we have gone from people Forgetting, to people who are Knowing and cannot forget. We are experiencing the same ethereal world but from the other side of the coin. Incredibly clever! We also wrestle with the political themes of freewill, corruption, slavery, democide and ideological conflict which adds much depth to the cultures we inhabit in this story.
Loved it! A great sequel and I truly hope she writes more in this world!
