bookbriefs 's review for:
Wake
by Lisa McMann
This should really be 4.5 stars, not just 4. This series is going to be so great, I can just tell! I loved the first book and as soon as I finish typing up this review I am going to dive right into the second book. I can already tell that I will probably stay up late tonight so I can finish it. This is the kind of book that you can just fly through and never once get bored. I picked the book up and started reading and looked up to find that it was over three hours later and I had just read the book in one sitting. I didn't even know that much time had gone by, that was how much I was into the book.
Janie just has this likeable quality to her, you just instantly are on her side. You can feel the pain and stress this ability of "dream catching" causes her. You just feel for her and are rooting for her no matter what. And then you insert Cabel. I loved how protective he was of Janie at some points. It was really sweet the way he was always giving her food and making sure she was ok.
Then you get to the actual plot line of the story and that is where the magic happens. I love how everything was described. You get just enough background information to bring you up to speed, but not so much as to bore you. The writing is great and I love the layout of the book. It is broken up into dates and times and the sections are each really short. I love that things are told mostly as they are happening and there are not too many words on the page. This makes the reading fly by so fast and it helps to keep everything moving and interesting. There were no long or drawn out paragraphs for readers to get bogged down in. I really appreciated this. And everything was also not as straightforward as it seemed, there were a few plot twists that completely took me by surprise.
This book is so refreshing and original. I really loved it!
