The Memory Chronicles

review 1: Felicia does not know how long she has been in the hive after her death. She spends all of her time reliving her memories on the 'Net. One day, her chamber is destroyed and Julian, a boy she met in Germany, comes to break her out to join the rebels. Said rebels want to overthrow the Morati, angels who dis not make a choice about joining the rebellion against Heaven. They were sentenced to guard the souls in this place as punishment for not making a choice. As Felicia is making her way to the hide-out, she relives memories that led up to her death - her betrayal of her best friend with Julian and her romance with Neil whom she met after being banished to live with her grandmother. I didn't care too much for this book. Felicia was quite unlikeable and I just didn't believe t... morehe whole premise. I won't bother with the sequel.
review 2: There are many issues with Memory Chronicles #01: Level 2 (renamed The Memory of After). Weak, forgettable characters, convenient answers, and little world-building are only some of those issues. In spite of these weaknesses, Level 2 is ambitious and creative. Ms. Appelhans attempts to hybridize science fiction and theology. It is a unique mix of genres that would be more effective with more background information and sympathetic, dynamic characters but is still intriguing. Readers will recognize what she attempts to do and respect her attempts. In addition, she cleverly places hints throughout the story, which only become obvious once she reveals the full story. It is an ingenious ploy to bring continuity to a somewhat confusing plot. In all, Level 2 is not perfect, but it is still entertaining and the climactic ending is exciting. There are many unanswered questions that will leave readers curious about the next installment. Those who are less picky about character development and fully-detailed worlds will enjoy it more than finicky readers, but there are still worse ways to spend a few hours. less
