The Memory Painter

I saw that this book had a lot of mixed reviews before I started it, so I was a bit skeptical when I checked it out from the library... and then a little over 24 hours later, I finally finished it because I couldn't put it down. I loved everything about this book. The concept was awesome, romance wasn't all that prevalent, and it essentially combined all my favorite genres into one book. It was part sci-fi, part historical fiction, part fantasy, and it worked surprisingly well. While some of the twists were easy to see coming, I didn't really mind it because it worked anyways and still turned out to be a great story. The only thing I didn't love was the ending because it felt too open for me. Overall though, it was a great read, and I'm glad that I gave it a chance!
