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 listeners 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

The performance of the audible version though was not so good. The narrator lacked the ability to change her voice enough for different characters that often I had trouble discerning which character was speaking. There was little inflection in her voice so the story telling wasn’t captivating.
Great Story Book/Poor Performance

The main character was bland and an unexceptional character. Typical hero with powers beyond explanation who doesn’t believe in herself.
The magic system was complicated to understand and felt overly convenient like it offered an easy explanation for too many things.
There were so many terms that needed defining so the author had to work in some info dumps early on and even then I was kind of confused from time to time.
The plot felt very juvenile to me. Etta had very few setbacks. Everything seemed to go her way. Even the ending felt like a “well, I guess someone has to die” sort of thing.
The audio narrator was average. Not a great deal of variation in tone or voices. Pleasant voice to listen to but not particularly energized.
Meh

Overall boring story. Forgettable characters. Unconvincingly heroic and increasingly annoying main character. One-dimensional villain. Unnecessary love interest.
There are other, much better books centering around memory. I’ve read at least one in the past month.
I would have quit this an hour in, but I promised myself that I would finish every book I started under 10 hours this year.
Incredibly boring
