good ending to the series. read the other 2 then this is a good ending. same tone and feeling as the other 2 which is still good, just not the best.
an awesome ending to an awesome trilogy. I am glad that jaine got her happy ending without having to safrice everything to get it.
So...I was conflicted on what to put in this review and how many stars I wanted to give.
I get it, Janie wants to spare Cabel the complications and pain and all from her being a Dream Catcher. But he has been so wonderful, and she was a complete ass to him while trying to "make her decision." Hello, communicate. And then she finally does this last three pages of book, and it's just glossed over. What?
The plot point with her dad and him being a Dream Catcher as well and how he handled it was interesting.
I still have my question of how do Dream Catchers happen (besides just hereditarily, what makes it so someone is in first place?) and more aspects about it are just mysteries never answered, so that's irritating.

I REALLY enjoyed the first 2 books of this trilogy, but this one quite frankly sucked. It did tie everything up with an 'Oh good everything's going to work out just fine' ribbon, but the story was just horrible. I didn't care about the dad, I thought it was stupid that they brought Stubin back, Janie is constantly mean to Cabel, her talks with Carrie make them both sound like idiots... and did I mention the thing about her father is completely uninteresting? Very disappointing.

This book actually annoys me a bit. Why? Because the entire book is about the touch choice Janie must make, between using her powers to help others, though it causes her body to degrade in her twenties, or isolating herself from every human in the world, and living to a normal age. That's a good conflict. That I was up for and interested in.
And then the end of the book comes.
And the book goes "nope, that second one is false, it's actually this," at which point the decision is clear to ANYONE, no matter if they're in a relationship as close as Janie's or just living on their own. And it's still put forth as some kind of hard decision.
The book was saved somewhat by the resolution of Janie's past, and her own decision to focus on self-care. After an entire series of her helping her drunk mother, having an adult Janie who decides to be invested in her own survival over others is good.
But, in the end, this entire series is very meh, for me, and the final conflict is just an eye-roll. If McMann hadn't thrown in the final details about Janie's condition, I'd definitely have pushed this up a star.
