Gone by Lisa McMann
4.0
Yay! I finished the Wake series. And it's definitely a favourite series of mine now.
Again, just a heads up that this review may contain spoilers for those who haven't read Wake or Fade.
Janie Hannagan has a choice to make. Because of her ability to enter people's dreams, she must choose between an isolated life or becoming blind and crippled in her early twenties. Leaving Cabel wouldn't be easy, but can she make him stay with her as she deteriorates? Then a stranger enters Janie's life, and she realizes her decision is going to be even more difficult than she imagined.
I think that Lisa McMann ended her trilogy perfectly with this book. Janie finally makes her decision, and the whole trilogy concludes quite nicely. It's clear that there will be no more books. And yet, McMann left a lot to the reader's imagination. Because Janie's story isn't over. The parts we get to read about are through, but Janie still has a long life to live. The last sentence of the book shows that perfectly, and I hope that you'll agree.
The trilogy on a whole was great. The books are short and quick reads, but they are still deep and meaningful. Sometimes they're even scary. This one in particular has some frightening and gruesome scenes. Fade is still my favourite book in the series; the best by far.
One thing I just want to say I love were the random Canadian references. Like Saskatchewan and loonies. I don't know. They just made me smile.
Fans of the series will not be disappointed with this ending.
