I probably won't read the rest of the series unless this book gets really cool in the last third. I don't need a lot of plot progression if I can get into the character development or world-building etc, but... I'm not really digging the relationship progression and the world doesn't seem to have a lot more blocks to add to it, so at this point I'm kind of just reading to get to the end, unfortunately.

I'll finish this book but I'm not sure about finishing the rest of the series. I probably would have considered it when I was at my old job and could spend all day listening to books because it's not a bad book by any means, it's just not quite hitting for me.

I very much appreciate the concept of needing to make trades to use magic, but I really don't think trading memories for memories works in a first person narrative (written in the past tense, especially). It drags me right out of the story. I'm hoping we get a scene where she reclaims her memories so that her being able to tell the reader about things she forgot makes sense.

I'm reading slow and there are two people behind me in line for it! I borrowed the audiobook so I can listen to it while I'm driving and that should help speed things up.
