Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

You go into this book expecting it to be the love story of Aris and Metis- but it is truly this overarching love story that has spanned the entirety of tabula rasa. For a standalone book, Dahlan does an incredible job of giving us the answers to most of our questions, even down to explaining what brought about Tabula Rasa in the first place and who the creator really was, and his motivations. Their story was really mind-blowing and I think that if Dahlan wanted to write anything else in this universe, writing about them would be a fantastic choice.

I think this book would be a good read for people who enjoyed Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind. It has the same concept of true love bringing people back to their memories, without the toxicity of manic pixie dream girls and their male counterparts. I gave this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason that it lost a star is that some of the logic was lost with regards to the memories and how they are pulled from people- as well as the dreams. I felt a little confused over reality and how it fit into this story at times, and that is the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars for me.
