Heart of Shadows by Lisa EdmondsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Alice Loses Her Memory
Alice is found wandering along the side of the road, compelled to walk forever, by Sean and Ben. She has no memory of who she is, neither does she recognise anyone else. She also has no magic.
This story is told through flashbacks, jumping between the past and present as Alice’s story is told, filling in the blanks of how she got into that state and how she is to get out of it. The story is also told from two POV, that of both Sean and Alice. It’s a different way of telling the story from the previous books in the series, but I think in this instance it makes sense, filling in all the missing parts of the narrative.
The plot in this book was even more complex than the last one, but it was no less intriguing. Alice’s loss of memory is very interesting as it allows her to see who she would be without all the past trauma clouding her personality. She is vulnerable without magic, but her personality is intact.
There is some very clever storytelling going on in this book and I could rave about it forever, but I don’t want to spoil anything. So all I can suggest is, read the series, and read this book. Now all I have to do is wait until Autumn when the next book is due out!
