This was a relatively quick and easy read with characters I felt drawn to. While there are some scenes that I think are a bit rushed, I enjoyed the book overall.

Etta, aka Julietta, is motivated solely by the desire to protect her mother. She has betrayed people she loved in order to do so, even though it eats at her every day. She is driven by both love and guilt to free her mother and keep her alive.

The adventure she takes in order to save her mother opens Etta’s eyes to many of the choices that she’s made and provides her with unexpected allies, healing and understanding.

I loved the relationship between Etta and Reid and felt like it was the only one that really took some time to delve into the issues between them and resolve them, somewhat. The other relationships all resolved very quickly and smoothly, especially with Porter and Greer.

I feel like there could be some more world building, but liked the breakdown of the different realms and was intrigued by the aspect of stealing and transferring memories- and even using them as currency. It made me think about my own memories and how they shape who I am.

All in all, it was a fun read that could have been fleshed out a bit more.
