In the realms of The Memory Thief, memories are currency that can be traded for goods, services, skills, and experiences. A group of people―the Gifted―can steal and redistribute memories. Etta is secretly one of them, but she hasn’t used her Gifted abilities since she left the rebel Shadows following her mother’s accident two years ago. But when her mother is again in danger, Etta has no choice but to return to the underground group in order to complete her greatest heist and save her mother’s life. Etta faces startling attacks, unexpected romance, and above all, her own past as she uncovers a conspiracy that challenges everything she knew about herself and the world around her.

In a place where nothing is what it seems, can Etta ever become more than a memory thief?

“Readers, like Etta and her fellow citizens, will be challenged to contemplate the nature of truth … A welcome addition to the YA fantasy canon, The Memory Thief is a suspenseful page-turner, delightfully chock full of unexpected twists and turns.” – Shelf Awareness

The Memory Thief:

Is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Victoria Aveyard
Brings readers on an unforgettable journey during which Etta must learn―often the hard way―just what it will take to save her city and her mother
Is a clean, coming of age YA fantasy, with unexpected romance by up-and-coming author Lauren Mansy

Recensione

Mansy's debut will delight fantasy readers who revel in fully developed settings and unusual powers. -- Booklist

The Memory Thief is fast paced and didn't stop for one second...This book is perfect for people who are looking for a quick unique fantasy novel that is also a stand alone! -- The Book Bratz

A compelling, darkly fantastic tale ... Though Mansy builds an expansive fantasy world all her own, her tale uses dystopian motifs to great success, such as the corrosive effects of an overabundance of power falling into the wrong hands and her stern commentary on the divide between the haves and have-nots. Readers, like Etta and her fellow citizens, will be challenged to contemplate the nature of truth, considering the unique role that memories play in the Realms. Mansy also delivers a fine romance, made all the more gratifying by the difficulties sustained along the way. A welcome addition to the YA fantasy canon, The Memory Thief is a suspenseful page-turner, delightfully chock full of unexpected twists and turns. -- Shelf Awareness

A thought-provoking and unique YA fantasy, THE MEMORY THIEF is a engrossing and lovely story. Twists and turns keep the reader guessing as they follow Etta on her physical and mental journey. -- YA and Kids Books Central

As evidenced by 'The Memory Thief', author Lauren Mansy has a genuine talent for narrative storytelling and an authentic flair for originality. A riveting great read with more plot twists and turns than a Disney Land roller coaster, 'The Memory Thief' will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to school and community library YA Fiction and amp; Fantasy Fiction collections. -- Midwest Book Review

Just a pretty face..

Recensito in India 🇮🇳 il 11 luglio 2021

Acquisto verificato

The basic concept of the book is actually pretty fresh but I was greatly disappointed over how the plot went on. I won’t call myself as a professional reviewer or anything but as a person who loves books and reading stories, this book reached none of my expectations. As they usually say, the plot never ‘thickens’ and neither are there any amazing out of the box plot twists and it’s overall just very plain and I lost interest pretty soon. There is no depth to the characters, or sense to the past or over how things are connected and there’s no character development whatsoever. I still finished reading it because I was hoping for some spice, giving the author a chance to save this dying book but it never happened. And I found myself looking forward to the end so because I won’t have to read it anyone. I will not recommend reading this.

Basic Bibliophile

Uninspired, lazy writing with info dumps, pacing issues, and inorganic plot & character development.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 4 ottobre 2019

Acquisto verificato

I really wanted to like this because the cover was gorgeous, and the world sounded intriguing, but alas, I had to force myself to finish it. Right away there is a huge info dump about the world divisions, rulers, and classes of people. It was hard to remember it all since it wasn’t learned throughout the story and that was confusing at times. There was also a ton of background info dumps through memory which bogged the story down and wasn’t very interesting. Honestly, it just felt like lazy, uninspired storytelling and it was boring. Plus, romance happens so fast. There is no build-up or justification especially considering the situation of their loyalties. Also, some of the plot twists had no foreshadowing or build up so it would just happen, and it didn’t feel organic at all. I like the creativity of the magic system, but the execution of the story, character development, and writing were severely lacking for me.

Positives:

Interesting memory “magic” system

Negatives:

Info dumps, lazy writing, poor character and plot development, pacing problems, story not engaging enough

Things that might matter to some people:

No language, no sex, brief kiss, non-graphic violence

Conclusion:

Don’t bother with this book.

An Ambitious Project Done Well!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 9 dicembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

For a first time published writer, Lauren Mansy hits it out of the park. The characters are flawed, layered and not simplistic. They are like all of us... they make mistakes, have past secrets and fail before succeeding. It took me some time to really enjoy the book because so much ground work must be laid out for the reader. However, by chapter twelve I was all in to this dystopia type novel.

On a completely different note (spoiler alert) ...the author paints a bleak picture of the conditions of her main characters (Etta and Ryder) in the beginning of the novel. They appear alone, struggling and quite frankly their world is pretty grey because of the evil that prevails in their town. Very symbolic on how we many times find ourselves in life. The poverty of their souls, depressed mind set and demeanor is palatable. They are struggling to make it day to day and keep Etta's mother alive from the demonic Madam. However, in the background (unbeknownst to Etta and Ryder) good is working on their behalf. They can't see it or feel it... but it is there. I think that is true of all of us when we know in WHOM we belong. When we understand our real identity, we are able to take our rightful position in life. Lauren Mansy will have a long and successful career as a writer. I look forward to hearing more from this young author.

Encouragement

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 10 novembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

I enjoyed the Mind Thief because it was a book of encouragement for young and old people. The martyr JuliAnne aka Etta, fighting against powerful odds to save her mother, friends, family and saving the territory from wicked dictator, who steals memories, incapacitates and instilling false memories for control and power. A is reminder of modern days Minders: substance addictive societies; wars glorified for land gains and blood thirsty greed, willing mindless givers to TV or computer influences.
Mainly I enjoyed reading The Mind Thief because it gave hope, reminding me as I read Jules of my daughter and niece incapacitated for now to not let mind thieves discourage you. You will get better and heal.

Looking For A Book With Adventure, Friendship, Struggles, And A Bit Of Romance? This One Is Perfect!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 11 febbraio 2020

Acquisto verificato

I loved the creativeness of the different regions and the unique twist of memories being bought, sold, & stolen.
I also appreciated the glossary in the front instead of the back it helped lay the foundation of the story without giving away the story.
This book has you walking along with Etta on her journey through all the things life has thrown at her and struggles and adventures she has as she searches for answers.
Just a good book, with adventure, friendship, struggles, and a bit of romance.
Some of the quotes from the first chapter that had me hooked:

"They go to wish loved one's goodbye. To beg the Minders to let their children or their parents come home."

"It’s gray, gray, and more gray everywhere. But most who live here don’t even notice. Their memories keep them in whichever place in the past they wish to dwell."

"Once he’s been secured, she takes her place beside him, her bony hand trailing along his shoulders. “Do you have any last words, Kellen Marks?” He tips his eyes up to meet hers. “Better things await me.” The audience goes deathly silent, and I too am mesmerized by his calm. There’s a rare beauty about him, one that never graces this stage. Death does not frighten him. How is it he’s made his peace with this world and is ready to travel into the next? He looks serene, content even. Then I blink, and his eyes have rolled back into his head. I don’t realize I’ve grabbed Ryder’s hand until she squeezes mine. I’ve watched a lot of auctions, but Kellen’s cries strike me harder than most, like a knife hitting bone. The Memory Auction has begun.
