Granted a CAD-a Combat Assistance Device-with awful specs but an infinite potential for growth, Reidon finds himself at the bottom of his class at the Galens Institute, one of the top military academies in the Collective. Along with his best friend, Viviana Arada, Reidon will have to start his long climb through the school rankings, and on to the combat tournament circuits that have become humanity's greatest source of excitement and entertainment.So begins the rise of a god. So begins the ascent of the Stormweaver.

Coger el Juego de Ender, rebajar la tortura psicológica y mezclarlo con un anime típico de torneo resulta en una lectura más entretenida de lo que me esperaba.

Pese a ser bastante largo (mil páginas) tiene un ritmo lo suficientemente rápido como para que no acabes aburrido.

Los personajes, pese a ser típicos, llevan el ser genéricos con bastante tranquilidad, y los secundarios tienen nombre porque hay un número limitado de personajes y alguno se repite de vez en cuando, que si no, ni eso.

Me deja con ganas de leer más, la verdad.
