The third installment of the ongoing Trinity Saga, The Memory Keeper takes place almost immidiately after The White Knight. This book is written in Leonalia's perspective, we see everything from her point of view, and get to understand more of how she feels and where she is coming from.This has been odd for me. The first book,The Trinity Saga: The Pocket Watchwas written from Imogen's Point of view. The Second,The Trinity Saga: The White Knightwas from Lucius' point of view, and now we have Leonalia's, and if I am not mistaken, judging from the first chapter of the final book, The Navilus, it may possibly be written from Collin's Point of View. I am not saying it has been a bad thing, but most certainly different.The Memory Keeper was just as action-packed as the first two books in the series, it starts out fast-paced, and ends that way. The war has begun between the Nemuri and The House of Bekker, and it begins with the house being divided on which side to choose. Aiden, Imogen's Wraith brother, is still causing trouble, and the supernatural world starts to bleed onto earth.I did not care much for Imogen in this book. I realize because of Lucius' death in The White Knight, she has become bitter, doesn't care if she lives, and is bent on revenge, but she really became somebody I didn't much care for. Leonalia was still annoying, but she grew up some in this book, and we get to understand more about what is happening to her, and how she feels about her own impending death.I didn't like at all how things ended with Aiden, though after what happens with Lucius' soul in the Memory Keeper, perhaps it may not be the final ending with him.Again, what you thought was a certainty in the earlier books isn't certain in this one. You are left guessing at every turn, and the betryal you feel from these peoples' parents by the end of the book is unbelievable.I do not recommend reading The Memory Keeper without reading the first two books in the series. They are intricate stories, with a huge cast of characters that you will never keep straight unless you meet them in the beginning. Even after the third book I occasionally would think to myslef, "Who is this?" And then realize, oh yeah, I met him in the last books.It's a good book, a wonderful series, and I can't wait for the last installment.
