Descent of Shadows

2.5 stars!

It makes it a little better knowing this is a Middle Grade, and apparently a series.
I had really liked the first few chapters, it brought a lot of anticipation and had started very well!
However...as it carried on it didn't progress as well for me, I stopped caring for the characters and was more annoyed at several of them.

I really liked the fantasy themes of it, with the Wraiths especially. And parts of it did remind me of Ender's Game a bit, a younger generation helping and fighting for the human race. I liked the plot and where it was going.

But overall, the execution of the plot and characters could have been done better and more of chased me away.
