So I was not sure how I was going to feel about this book. It received so many mixed reviews I went into it hopeful and came out happy. The biggest complaints I read about was that it was confusing, that there was no plot, and the character were lacking. I completely disagree. 
 This book is written in the perspective of the main character, Maire. Now Maire has gone through something and cannot remember anything other than her name. I believe that because it is written in her perspective we are going to feel her confusion and frustration. If the author had given us more information that Maire did not have, everyone would be upset that Maire knew more than she should. I think the author allowed us to experience what Maire was experiencing. 
 As for the plot, it has a great one. 
 Introduction/ Setting: We meet Maire and the people she lives with. We are introduced to her town and her job. We learn what Maire knows about herself, and the confusion and frustration that she cannot remember more. 
 Rising action/ Conflict: Maire cannot remember who she is. Although she is trying to adjust to the life she has been given, she wants to remember who she was. She meets people who seem to know her, but are not willing to share information. Plus, she is sold to be a slave and no longer has the freedom to try to figure out who she is. 
 This is where I have to end in order to keep from giving out spoilers. There is a climax and resolution. Some of which is slightly predictable. 
 I really enjoyed this book. It was well written. I did not find any mistakes. Something I liked the most is that the author made you use all your senses. It was fantastic!
