I adored the loving sibling relationship sooooo much. That whole family is just so sweet, and it was so refreshing to see such a supportive, loving family unit in sci-fi!
There were so many twists and turns, that combined with the natural, witty writing style kept me super engaged. I found myself hesitating on the last few chapters because I didn’t want it to end, haha. (Even though I know there’s a sequel, which I’m so looking forward to!!)
Excellent narrator performance on audiobook, highly recommend!...more

Architects of Memory is a non-stop, incredibly thoughtful novel that sticks with with you long after you put the book down. It has the pacing and scope of a blockbuster sci-fi, bolstered by the warmth and emotional intimacy of the characters and relationships.
I think I was most impressed by the worldbuilding and (dark) history, which builds up eerily in the periphery, then sneaks up from behind and hits you when you least expect it.
The intricately developed and terrifying political landscape will have you brainwashed right along with the characters, who are constantly bombarded by morally gray, impossible choices that will have you scrambling to turn the page.
Saying anything more specific feels like a spoiler, so I’ll just say, if you love sci-fi, definitely check this one out!!
I really wish I had a better way of explaining what it was I enjoyed about this book than what I’m about to tell you.

I’m finding it hard to put my finger on, but I think I can somewhat summarize it in one word: realistic. Which, I know, doesn’t sound super exciting, but I think that’s what I loved about it?
There’s not a ton of action or drama. No major plot twists and turns. The worldbuilding, though definitely present and accounted for, is subtle and there’s nothing overly creative or unique about the culture or worlds.
It just felt very REAL. Which maybe is just the kind of book I needed right now, I’m not sure, but frankly it was refreshing and the first modern SF/F book in a long time I didn’t have to struggle through or end up putting down after a few chapters.
My only real complaint is that is was probably longer than it needed to be. I myself really enjoyed some of the nitty gritty details of the day-to-day, I could see some readers wanting to skip over that kind of thing, but I enjoyed it.
What I might be most excited about is the fact that it’s book one. It felt very much like part of a bigger story, almost like it was just the first act. Which is totally fine by me! I can’t wait to see what’s in store next.
Overall this was a very fun read introducing what I hope will be a very compelling main character and series!...more
