Publication date: June 16th 2011
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

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.

 Think about a girl from our world finding herself in a diffrent world with diffrent rules and no memories. What would you do? Well it's a story filled with mystery, imagination and wonder. I mean you keep wondering the truths, what's going to happen also try to get to know characters. I must admit that I find the subject refreshing after reading like 3 books which are replikas of each other. Just as I started to get bored of this genre I found something good again. Also very finely drawn illustrations adds to it even though most of the time I prefer to imagine the characters myself this time I think it helped me to visualize the story more firmly. So if you like hotties you can see more than imagine and a diffrent story than what's main stream here's your call. Go and enjoy it.

Rating: 5/5
