4.0 AVERAGE


The Descendants is for YA and up. Great storyline, can't wait to read the next in the series ASAP.

The storyline is like none I have read before, and I read ALOT.

I love the characters, within pages you start to care about them and want to jump into the book to help.

Fast read... because you won't want to put it down! I read it in about 2 hours. :)

Good start

This was a good start to the series and I will be reading the next book in the future as well as others by this author.

Rayah is a null and is considered an outcast for not being able to harness her lighting powers. She has been allowed to continue in an academy where she must reach level 6 in her skills or become a slave to Major Artemis. She is desperate as her mother was required to take her place for 6 years while she continued to try to harness her power. if Rayah fails, she dreads the life that she would face afterwards.
After an extreme torture training, Rayah awakens in the Wilds, outside of Lytonia. After meeting Soren, A Child of God (supposedly wicked and evil), Rayah learns that everything she has been told about the world outside the walls is freedom. Sadly, she is only able to get to the Wilds in her "lighter form." Soren and is family attempt too teach Rayah how to access her powers. Will it be enough to pass at the academy to earn her mother and her freedom from Artemis?

YA ish which I don’t typically read, but it wasn’t bad. Some grammatical errors if those bother you. I just had trouble connecting to the MC. Oh girl was kinda dense. She repeated stuff all the time. “I’m dreaming” (no, you’re not, you’re just too stupid to realize it), “...but Tristan...(dude...enough about Tristan), “I’m just a worthless *fuddy duddy*” (well...yes you are, but not really you nincompoop because why else would the bad guy want you and other people tell you you were special?) Overall pretty ok and it kept me interested! I’ll read book two. Here’s hoping she grows a pair** and kicks some butt.

*She doesn’t really say fuddy duddy, but you get the gist.
**A metaphorical pair.
