Forget Me Always picks up right where Love Me Never left and while I was dubious at first about the whole Isis-forgetting-Jack thing because I felt like it was a step back, it was actually amazing. It added a whole other dimension! Plus Sophia! How epic was it to meet her, eh? Amnesia is always quite a lazy plot device, but it so worked here and seeing Isis realise exactly who Jack was and what had gone on was a special feeling, it added a whole other layer to their relationship. But in another way it killed me because there was so much progress and then it was like starting again and I just wanted to lock them in a room to figure it all out. But there was so much going on! Man, I honestly can’t contain the absolute feels this book gave me. It’s out of this world insane. I love Isis and Jack so much more and if they eventually win through, man it’ll be hard fought.
I absolutely loved Forget Me Always, from beginning to end and it’s safe to say the ending killed me. Absolutely, tears-in-the-eyes, could hardly BELIEVE my eyes. It’s like yet another reset button has been hit, and I can’t wait to do it all again, even if that’s really masochistic of me, this series just gets better the more you read it, it’s insane. And I defy anyone not to feel some flicker of emotion once they finish this book (even more so when they read Wren’s extra POV chapter, which was amazing).
This is one of the most multi-layered books I’ve ever read. There’s just so many secrets and so much to learn and I still don’t think we’ve reached the tip of the iceberg! Sara Wolf knows EXACTLY how to hook you in and keep you hooked page after page, she’s a writing genius and I feel like sitting in a corner, rocking away, until May 2017 when I can read Remember Me Forever. Just the IDEA of waiting 7 months (I am writing this review in October, fyi) makes me want to go and ask Kai to Elena me and let me just SLEEP for 7 months so I wake up fresh, ready for battle, ready to go to war with Isis and Jack one last time. These are astounding books. Go read them. You’ll come back and thank me, I swear.
