Plague of Memory (2007)

Returned to the bosom of the Torin clan, Cherijo still has no memory of actually being Cherijo. In her deepest heart she's Jarn - and she's getting a bit tired of being mistaken for the woman who died on Akkabarr. As those who love her conspire to keep her safe, events at large push her to act outside her new comfort zone - she may have lost her memory but not her skills, and a plague on the Hsktskt home world brings a demand for help. Lost memories and old enemies may spell the difference between kill and cure - but Jarn isn't so sure she wants to remember....

Never a dull moment with this crew, that's for sure! ( )

I picked this book up with serious reservations - I barely made it through the previous book, with its "oops, main character's lost her memory! Let's make her totally different!" plot derailment. I was pleasantly surprised, however. The parts that really shone for me were seeing events from previous books from the hero's eyes; it made me re-evaluate how I felt about the pre-amnesia heroine.

It's been very interesting to see the direction she has taken Cherjio and her family. The characters come alive for me and always wanting more. ( )
