This is going to be a hard review to write without spoiling it, but I will try my best.
The artwork in Memory's Wake by Selina Fenech is awesome. It took me a long time to read because I caught myself looking at the drawings for extended amounts of time and even going back and looking again. Drawing is a skill I wish I possessed.
*spoilers below*
I do feel disconnected from the villain. The biggest villain was really Memory's lost memories. Thrall seemed like a very small concern to me due to this disconnection. I also felt disconnected from the characters at times because things happened too easily for them. Memory finds El and then poof they decide to help each other out, poof they are friends, poof they are sisters.
I really wanted to see more of Will. He was a dark mysterious guy that lurked out of the woods to help in desperate times but nothing really comes out of him. He just disappears. Why? The feeling throughout the whole book was that he wanted to be with Memory. I think this is a series though, so I'm sure he comes back.
The world Fenech created was very real. I could visualize it. Some people complained of grammatical errors, and maybe I have a different version than those who purchased, but I didn't come across many. It was clean writing but it did have a few sentences that were a bit confusing to read.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to read this book. If you like magic in books then you'll probably enjoy this book. The romance within the book isn't unbearable like many other YA books either.
