A review by rballenger
Fade by Lisa McMann
1.0
I've copied my review from 'Wake' (1st book in the series) below as most of it still applies. The only thing I would add is that this book gives me hope for writers everywhere. If this can be published and enjoyed there's truly a niche for everyone. Ever the glutton for punishment, I'll probably still read the 3rd book in the series...mainly because I know my coworker will ask about it and also because it's almost comical how annoyed I am at this book right now and I might as well give myself a little bit of laughable closure.

Type of read: Lunch read (print copy)
What made me pick it up: My coworker borrowed me her copies of Wake, Fade, and Gone (Dream Catcher Series)
Overall rating: This book reminded me of many that I used to read back in high school. It was a quick read that was easy to jump in and out of. Some of the writing was a little tough to work out, I had to read and reread a few pages just with the formatting. I would categorize this as a travel book...it holds your attention enough (maybe because you're trying to figure out what is exactly going on?) but it's something that you don't really want to (or have to) get super invested in because you might have to start a conversation, take a nap, or move to your next destination at any moment. I'll probably still finish the series...more because I know my coworker will ask about it and less because I'm actually interested in the books.
