Description
When a woman with perfect memory sets out to solve a riddle, the threads she tugs on could bring a whole city crashing down. The God-King who made her is at risk, and his other servants will do anything to stop her.
To become the God-King's Amanuensis, Manet had to master all seven perfections, developing her body and mind to the peak of human performance. She remembers everything that has happened to her, in absolute clarity, a gift that will surely drive her mad. But before she goes, Manet must unravel a secret which threatens not only the carefully prepared myths of the God-King's ascent, but her own identity and the nature of truth itself.

Thanks to NetGalley. First of all: This is a really special, I‘d even say unique, book. I had a hard time getting into it because of the second-Person POV. I was not sure if I liked the single-sided conversations the book consists of. But they make the book special and after giving it some thought, it is a cool way to tell a story! I would have loved to have learned more about the world and our main character. A lot of things are left unsaid. I am said that this is only a short novella.. All about the perfections would be predestined to be explored (and explained) more thorougly. A special book, really entertaining but one has to read slowly and let it all sink in to savour it fully, I think. I am a fast reader and did not heed my own advice... I want to know so much more about Manet/the Amanuensis, the God-King and the White Isle. This book is an intriguing mystery!
