Mehso-so

This was surprisingly slow going for a book geared towards young adults. The fantastical world starts off strong, but when the main character sets off to search for her missing friends it felt like everything dragged w/no action for chapters. The main premise revolves around a creeping darkness that's invading local towns. It's a heavy subject with a satisfying ending, but it's not one I'd recommend. The pace was too slow to justify the payoff.
