#BookReview: The Princess Electric (The Rememberist Saga #1) by Derek Silver






Synopsis: "A kaleidoscopic neo-noir adventure packed with imaginative world building and gorgeous imagery, The Princess Electric is...a glittering fever dream that I won't soon forget." --Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn
--
How do you help your sister remember when all you want to do is forget?

Violet wants nothing more than to forget how she put her sister in the hospital. When she discovers that her sister’s amnesia is caused by otherworldly creatures stealing memories, Violet is propelled into Dementia, an alternate world of lost moments and forgotten dreams.

It is there that Violet meets the Rememberists, a rag-tag crew of memory freedom fighters led by Declan and Cheshire, brothers who try to recruit Violet into their cause. Yet their shadowy demeanors make Violet question their motivations, even when she discovers that they can help her sister. But if Violet doesn’t start trusting someone soon, she’ll never be able to save her sister’s memories—or herself.

THE PRINCESS ELECTRIC is the first book in The Rememberist Saga, a young adult urban fantasy series set in an alternate world of lost memories, where the most precious commodity is the ability to remember, and the pain of forgetting is a tortured silence that lasts forever.

My Review: This one was 
a good read for fans of fantasy and steampunk looking for a strong female lead and a unique setting. Despite its pacing issues and occasional predictability, it offers an imaginative and enjoyable adventure with a touch of magic and innovation. Creative and unique addition to the fantasy genre, blending elements of magic, steampunk, and adventure. 

The story centers around Princess Seraphina, who defies expectations by embracing her talents as an inventor and engineer in a world where magic and technology collide. One of the novel's standout features is its imaginative world-building. Silver creates a vibrant and visually rich setting, where fantastical elements coexist with advanced machinery. The steampunk influences add an exciting layer of innovation and creativity, making the world feel fresh and intriguing. 

Princess Seraphina is a strong and relatable protagonist. Her determination to carve her own path and defy traditional roles is inspiring. Her journey from a sheltered royal to a proactive heroine who takes control of her destiny is compelling and well-portrayed. The supporting characters, including a diverse cast of friends and allies, add depth to the story and contribute to Seraphina's development.

The plot, while creative, can sometimes feel predictable. Certain twists and turns lack the surprise factor, making parts of the story feel formulaic and Some scenes are overly detailed, which can detract from the overall momentum and make it difficult to stay fully engaged. Overall, it was worth the read.
