Its hard enough for her to cope in a 2 bedroom appartment, sharing a room with her siblings and grandmother, but she has to hide her face everywhere she goes. Hayat is scarred, mentally and phyiscally. Hayat has one last chance to fullfill her grandmother, Sitti Zeynabs dreams, to touch the soil of her homeland one lat time, but does this mean Hayat ans Samy\’s lives are in stake. Samy, also thirteen, is her best friend and is interested in anything that has danger or trouble written all over it. Hayat, a thirteen year old Palestenian girl, sets out on a journey through the occupied territories of Jerusalem with Samy tagging along with her. this novel is about a young Palestenian girl who takes us with her on a life threatening epic adventure through the war torn borders of Jerusalem. Randa Abdel-Fattah has yet again amazed us with one of her latest novels \’Where The Streets Had a Name\’. I stared at the twisted, contorted skin around my right cheek, the scarring that zigs zags across my forehead\”. It always seems as if a stranger is looking back at me. \”I look in the mirror and I\’m startled by my reflection. Once I started, I knew I had to see it all unravel in real time. What I liked about Fade was simple: it was easy to slip into. With a solid mystery at its core, our little dream-hopper has more than just school and romance on her plate-she's out to hunt a potential predator. Twined with more supernatural elements Fade feels not unlike a classic Veronica Mars episode. This is what is preventing me from rating Fade as a five star book.ĭespite everything, Fade is a solid mystery that will tug at your heart strings just as easily as it will fill you with unease. The little to no context about Janie's power leaves so much to be desired and no amount of engaging mysteries or snark dialogue can change that. didn't.Īnd while Fade is the superior novel in the series (so far, at least) it still is lacking certain developed plotlines and world-building. Wake had this spark to it that felt as though it could be developed to take so many turns, but it felt like it just. But, it also feels underdeveloped in all definitions of the word. It's smart, fast, filled with intrigue and driven by its central mystery. Listen, there's something about this series that somehow engages me and frustrates me. |
