Chains and Memory
Chains and Memory | Marie Brennan
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Manifestation was only the beginning. The Otherworld has returned -- bringing with it the sidhe, the source of humanity's psychic powers. Some mortals welcome these creatures of legend, some fear them . . . and no one is ready for the change their presence will bring. Last autumn Kim and Julian stood at the center of that storm. Now they face a challenge closer to home: a battle over the laws governing wilders, the closest genetic relatives of the sidhe. Many feel that change should wait until the current upheaval has ended . . . but Kim sees opportunity in the chaos, a chance to free Julian and all his kind from the chains of the deep shield that locks their gifts away. The roots of that shield run deeper than she knows. The quest to destroy it will lead her and Julian back into the world of the sidhe, where they will uncover ancient lies, face betrayal on all sides -- and gamble everything on the possibility of freedom.

My experience with CHAINS AND MEMORY is a good example of why you should read sequels ASAP. Brennan constructs a solid legal narrative here as her magical characters fight to have their rights recognized—but she relies on work done in the first book, LIES AND PROPHECY, to provide the emotional hook. I enjoyed the story overall, but I know I‘d have gotten a lot more out of it if I‘d read it right after Book 1 instead of waiting 5 years.

I made my favourite warm Brussels sprout salad for supper, and I hit 47% with CHAINS AND MEMORY by Marie Brennan while I ate it. The book‘s a contemporary fantasy with a good legal component. It‘s also the sequel to something I really enjoyed 5 years ago but don‘t remember super well. I should‘ve reread LIES AND PROPHECY first to refresh my connection to the emotional side of the story.
