Oh, what a disappointment. After loving both Wake and Fade, I felt like this one was something completely different, and not in a good way. I disliked the characters, who almost felt like emotionless caricatures of themselves (from the previous books). It all just seemed like filler, and not very good filler at that, especially to end a trilogy.
I wasn't sure how Janie's story was going to end, and honestly, the way it ended was fine. It was the getting there that was the problem. It just seemed that every character in the book was defeated. There was very little happiness, hope, or love. We were told that Janie and Cabel were in love (and we saw it in previous books), but it really was not shown here. Cabel was mean, Janie was distant--it was just bad.
I would not recommend this one at all. Even if you've read the previous two books. Make up your own ending--it'd be better than reading this.
