The Binding

“Memories,’ she said, at last. ‘Not people, Emmett. We take memories and bind them. Whatever people can’t bear to remember. Whatever they can’t live with. We take those memories and put them where they can’t do any harm. That’s all books are”

*chefs kiss* That's all I can really say about this book. The plot, story-line, and flow of the timeline weaved so well together that I didn't want it to end. This world was so intriguing and combined an old world of taboo to a new world were they embrace binding their memories. I fell deeply for both Lucian and Emmett, and their story was one full of heartache and hope, which I adored.

The only thing I wish that this book would have done is resolve a few more of the plot points, but I guess that is the point, to let your own creativity flourish to image the future for all these characters. I loved this novel, and I can't wait to read her next work.
