Synopsis: Violet wants nothing more than to forget how she put her sister in the hospital. When she discovers that her sister’s amnesia is caused by otherworldly creatures stealing memories, Violet is propelled into Dementia, an alternate world of lost moments and forgotten dreams.
It is there that Violet meets the Rememberists, a rag-tag crew of memory freedom fighters led by Declan and Cheshire, brothers who try to recruit Violet into their cause. Yet their shadowy demeanors make Violet question their motivations, even when she discovers that they can help her sister. But if Violet doesn’t start trusting someone soon, she’ll never be able to save her sister’s memories—or herself.
THE PRINCESS ELECTRIC is the first book in The Rememberist Saga, a young adult urban fantasy series set in an alternate world of lost memories, where the most precious commodity is the ability to remember, and the pain of forgetting is a tortured silence that lasts forever.
Review: This book was pretty good. I really enjoyed the plot of the book and the concept of it. I thought that the concept was pretty unique. I also liked how the world was developed and the book kept me intrigued from beginning to end.
However, I did have a lot of questions about the book. I think that the book touches on a lot of sensitive topics, the most obvious being dementia and Alzheimer's like elements in the book. The book is and can be a hard read for people that have loved ones that are suffering from those diseases. and while I have not had any one personally in my life that has been affected by those diseases I can see where it might be hurtful to read this if you do, so I would suggest cautioning yourself before reading this book if you do have that criteria. I also thought that the pacing was really slow in a lot of the parts of the book and I didn't think that the characters were developed that well in my opinion. The characters don't have that many distinguishing features in my opinion and they're just kind of flat on the page.
Verdict: It was good for the most part
