The only thing is that I wanted more development for Xavier and Julie. Jack was fantastic too, as were his teammates Xavier and Julie. (I made the connection well before Ella did as to what it represented in the book.) I think Revis did a good job with the reality of Ella’s mental state, but that the bee symbolism could have come a little sooner or been done a little better somehow. Her voice was strong and the madness she seems to experience is very real and very confusing. The concepts of memory are fascinating and I love what Revis did with her plot and characters especially. It was an interesting science-fiction that still takes place on earth without managing to be a huge dystopian piece. I enjoyed this book, especially the little bits that are related to Alan Turning’s theory of artificial intelligence. But if someone else has been inside Ella’s head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings.


She is the key to stopping a war she didn’t even know was happening. Which can only mean one thing…Įlla’s gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love-even though Ella’s never met him before in her life.

Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience-and influence-the memories of traitors. Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift-the ability to enter people’s dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother-to help others relive their happy memories.Įlla starts seeing impossible things-images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust.
