Rachel Neumeier’s The Mountain of Kept Memory
This book… was slow. The protagonists are a pair of siblings, the prince and princess of a country whose father has offended the immortal being that protects their home, and now they’ve been weakened by a plague and foreign invaders are encroaching. I really enjoyed everything going on with the princess (secretly very politically savvy) but the prince's sections draaaagggggged. I also kept waiting for the story to be revealed to be like a far future post-apocalyptic kind of thing, but we did not get enough answers about the mysterious protector and all the gods being dead. (And one character is obviously a traitor but that takes WAY too long for everyone else to figure out.) So I was kind of frustrated by this book. Loved the princess character and everything with her story arc, most of the rest didn’t really work for me. B.
