FADE was the best installment out of all three books. Very fast-paced with no dull moment in sight.
After Janie accepts her faith as a dream catcher, she must now put her supernatural abilities to good use. Thus, along with Cabe she begins to work under-cover and her first assignment is to catch a sexual predator at her SCHOOL. The sexual predator is lurking at the only place Janie thought was safe and he is one of her own teachers. She risks her own life to get to the bottom of this case even when Cabe is totally against the whole idea.
Janie comes to discover her future as a dream catcher after meeting Ms. Stubin at the retirement home, who by far is the only other dream catcher Janie is aware of. Ms.Stubin teaches Janie how to use and control her abilities properly. But where there is good there is bad: Something awful awaits Janie in the future and there is no running away from it. Her twisted future is concealed and can never be changed. Janie learns the truth about her gift/curse that will change the course of her life.....forever. This will not only affect her but also her beloved Cabe.
Janie and Cabels relationship evolves and their love blossoms. Thank goddness for no love triangles!
Janies mother is lazy and drunk as usual. She has a minor/annoying part in this where all she does is scold Janie, when it is because of Janie she is still alive.
The reason why I prefer this novel over the other two in the trilogy is because Lisa McMann's writing style evolves. Unlike Wake, where she mostly wrote in short lines(not paragraphs), here she writes fluidly. The reader can tell Lisa put more effort into this novel than the last one.
The plot of Fade is better because it has a mystery aspect to it "who done it"?. For some odd reason, I really liked *SPOLIER* the Durbins party scene. I thought it was very well descripted and felt like I was at the party myself(too bad I couldn't save Janie). The book had such a strong hold on me that i read it in just one sitting, it was too captivating to let go.

This one should've been the only book in the series.. or perhaps a few chapters of the first book could've been added to this one. But really, making a series out of very small ideas is kind of dumb, a way to get the most money from fans. I didn't like how the writing was so simplistic.
ReplyDeleteAgree.
ReplyDeleteOr the author should've ended with this book and added a few chapters from gone.
