Anna Undreaming tells the story of Anna who gets sucked into this other side of our world called a Haze or Behind the Veil. A Haze is another dimension of our world created by a Dreamer.
After being given drugs Anna is able to go Behind the Veil and finds out that she is an Undreamer, together with Teej, a Metik that she know before all this happened, Anna starts to unravel this new world she got sucked into. 

I had mixed feelings while reading this book. On one hand I really loved the writing style of the author and the concept, but on the other hand I was really confused the whole book. Not only are we following a character who doesn’t seem to have any idea of what is going on, so the readers don’t get much more inside, but she is also left in de dark by Teej who seems to know a lot of this world.
There is also the matter that us readers like a fast paced book, but for me this book was to fast paced… Half of the time I wasn’t sure what was exactly going on or how they got there. Anna Undreaming isn’t a book that is set in a month or so, you sometimes jump 6 weeks ahead. That combined with a character who doesn’t understand what is going on makes it hard to understand.

I am doubting between a 2.75 and a 3/5 for this book. I like the writing style and the really cool concept but the pacing was a bit of for me. 
Overall it is a good book, but you have to keep your mind to it. If you are like me and enjoy reading a book an hour or so before bed while already tired, I doubt you will enjoy this book. I mostly enjoyed it when reading it in the day and not getting tired after a whole day of school.
