On Vox: book thoughts: Fade by Lisa McMann
Janie is a "dream catcher". Since discovering this ability in Wake, she has spent a bit of time training herself to control her power. Fade is the next step in that story.
While I enjoyed Wake, I think I expected more from Fade. Like Wake, McMann uses her very quick and readable style to move the story along, and the reader can tear through the book in a matter of hours. I felt like she had some interesting ideas, but the ending was a little over the top. Even after you get over the idea that a person's dreams will some how lead to the solving of a crime, the last few chapters just ended up in a very weird place.
It feels like McMann is probably setting up a third book (or more?) for this series because of what is revealed at the end of this book.
