The Palace of Lost Memories
The Palace of Lost Memories | C. J. Archer
7 posts | 5 read | 20 to read
From the author of the USA Today bestselling GLASS AND STEELE series comes this captivating new fantasy. The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten. For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside. When the king decides to take a wife from among the eligible daughters of the noble families, the palace gates are finally thrown open and the kingdom's elite pour in. In a court where old rivalries and new jealousies collide, the king's favorite is poisoned and the doctor is summoned. As her father's assistant, Josie finally sees inside the lavish walls, but she soon learns the palace won't surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident, from the lowest servant to the king himself, has a memory from before the palace existed. In the search for the truth, Josie is drawn deeper into danger, and the answers she seeks might shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

I'll continue this series. The MC is a strong female character, which I really like, the mystery and the budding romance are intriguing, too.

This #bookspin choice from my #mounttbr was a total win!!! Everything I needed. Mystery, magic, intrigue, likable characters, unique spin on common tropes. Perfect! I‘m going to start the second one tonight. It will be hard to leave the series and return to my February buddy read books.

LibrarianRyan I LOVE this series. And the author is so nice. I have been listening to them. Book 4 is now out on audio but not from my library...yet 4y
Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan I‘m pretty sure I bought it on kindle because of you! It is a great story! It looks like book five will be out soon too. 4y
Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan also, what a curious predicament! No memories!!!! 4y

4.5 ⭐
This was such a fun listen. I had never heard of it before I was browsing Hoopla. The cover caught my eye and the blurb sounded interesting. And boy was this an interesting listen. The cast of this audiobook is amazing. Between the voice work and the story, you are sucked in and can NOT stop listening.

4 🌟

This book kept me listening. It was a cozy mystery with a bit of romance and a lot of intriguer. I finished book one and now really need book two as the mystery is not solved, it has only gotten bigger! Hopefully Josie stays in the good graces of the King, and finds our fiend in book two: the Echo of Broken Dreams.

There is still a possibility that I can make 24h but I doubt it. Finished off this audiobook this morning and now I have more questions. But I have to renew my library card first.

For the rest of my #bookreport I read at least 200 pages of Ninth House, 9 picture books, Ihate Fairyland Book 2, and listened to half of the Adventures Guild with the boys. Time for the rest of that book as we put together legos.

Three hours down. Finished I hate fairyland book 2 and am now going to pick up the boys. I will get at least one hour of my audio book in. Maybe two. But the kids are normally talky.
