What an awful ending! I don’t care if there was supposed to be a sequel or not, it was a terrible, leave you hanging ending – period. And what makes it worse is that there isn’t even a second book in progress- a second (or third) book doesn’t even look like it’s ever going to come out! What a waste of my reading time!

book was unending, whiny, repetitive drek-not the least bit intriguing. such a good subject, and the author completely ruined it. I am SO disappointed

I felt very optimistic when I first picked up this book. The plot was intriguing, the characters seemed interesting, and the feel of the story seemed exciting. However, I must say that I was honestly (and surprisingly) disappointed. I mean, don’t get me wrong there were definitely some good points but some of the language seemed adolescent and I think the story lacked description. I wish that the story line was more coherent and easy to follow. I also would have liked to have seen more dialogue between Lucy and Daniel and less sex scenes. (SPOILER) It was a big letdown at the end. I mean, Joaquim was Daniel’s main nemesis and they didn’t even have a big face to face confrontation or anything. And then at the end Daniel tells Lucy it’s going to take something really big to get rid of his evil brother and he tells her he’s going to do it, but you never find out what that is exactly. I really would have liked to know how Daniel got rid of him.

As of last summer, a rep at her publisher said she hadn’t heard anything about the second MEMORY book being finished. This is outdated info but that’s all I know!

It’s been a while since this post, have you heard anything about release dates for the second book in the trilogy yet?

You are right. If you have read Samantha Sotto’s Before Ever After; the same theme on past lives and reincarnation are being explored. 🙂

that’s what i first thought, especially the third book of lauren kate – passion, only In my name is memory – daniel is the one who remembers the past, but in passion lucinda is the one who returns to past. but there are many similarities. at least to me. even the peonies are mentioned. and sister of one of the reicarnation of lucy called lucinda 🙂 but just can not wait second book. i was really disapointed with end 🙁

I actually felt sad for Daniel and all that time he had to wait for the love of his existence. The book is amazing, from begging to end. Can’t wait for part two. Also, can we please stop comparing everything to Twilight? It’s beyond annoying! My name is memory is nothing like Twilight- at all.

I agree that it did have the feeling of a YA novel, but that didn’t bother me. Daniel’s side of the story was definitely the adult portion and it was also the side of the story I found most intriguing and well-written. Lucy’s side was more juvenile and had the YA feeling…but then that’s sort of to be expected given that we are witnessing her grow up. At the same time, her story spanned 5 years and in that time I didn’t feel that her character developed and changed enough from her high school self. I would have liked to see either less time or more time spanned. She completed an entire university degree and still felt like a typical teenager at the end of this.

I do have to say though, that it bugged me that people were calling this a time travelling novel. Yes, it spans many centuries of time, but it’s not like the characters are actually time travelling. It’s reincarnation and past lives that are being explored.
