Sometimes I loved her.
Sometimes I hated her.
Sometimes I was her and wanted to die.
Falon’s mind is broken. By returning his memories, Sarilla fractured him into the man he was and the man he became after his memories were stolen. Now, he’s fighting to rejoin his two halves, but he’s locked up in the prison below the palace, his neck already fitted for the hangman’s noose. Time is quickly running out.
And it’s not just his memories that are fighting for control of his mind. He’s stuck with those of the memory thief who caused all his problems in the first place. The woman half of him loves, but the other half loathes. Her memories have stained his eyes black, making the people of Dranta and its new queen fear him. It’s up to Falon to find a way out of this mess, but it’s not going to be easy. Especially since all three of the people in his head have very different plans for how to go about it.
Scars of Cereba is the concluding book in the Memoria Duology, sequel to the SPFBO 2020 finalist, Last Memoria, a story about a memory thief on the run and desperate to be forgotten.

A dark and disruptive story. Perspectives switched on almost every page, I had to pay careful attention to who was currently controlling Falon‘s actions. But this added another layer to the story as the characters interacting with Falon had to do the exact same thing with less information at hand than the reader. I loved every minute of it!

This sequel to Last Memoria packed a serious punch. Scars takes off running & doesn't stop. Fast-paced with clever, excellent writing & good atmosphere. The multi-POV can be challenging, but does give quite a bit of dimension & effectively adds to the tension. The world is interesting, a little dark & very mysterious. Excellent character arcs with well-bodied characters who felt believable. A solid book with an ending that I just cannot fault.
