Rion Grean is a young, reclusive boy in the science fiction novel The Fourth Kinetic. He and his mother had to relocate frequently when he was growing up due to the nature of her employment and other factors, which she steadfastly refused to discuss with him. Rion has grown accustomed to being alone because they have never stayed long enough for him to establish friendships. He just started his sixth semester at Tyler High in four years. Here, he first met Danielle Young, who would become his best friend. One day, during lunch, Danielle arrived to meet him at his table. However, this bond didn't survive since Rion's mother felt the need to relocate once more out of the blue.
 
Rion and his mother ran into some resistance on their journey, which caused them to part ways. Before this day, Rion's mother was unaware that he had begun using his telekinesis talent. Later, he discovered that the individuals hunting them are the Psyriin, who are all out to eliminate individuals like him, known as the Clairvoyants. He encountered additional individuals with similar and disparate powers as a result of this occurrence. They are in the midst of a war. Will they succeed? Will Rion eventually get to meet his mother? The Brady Moore book has the solutions.
 
I've always been an avid reader of science fiction, so that, along with the book cover, was what first drew me to this book. And I will state that the events in this novel did not let me down. I was captivated by it the entire time since it was so fascinating. In order to finish it, I had to read into the night. I kept going out of curiosity about what would happen. Brady Moore is a talented author. The novel's writing is superb, and each section is seamlessly integrated. The dialogue between the characters is very entertaining to me. They occasionally made me laugh.
 
I like Rion as a person. Even though he was at first timid, he eventually had to develop the strength to face the situation in front of them. He is sharp, courageous, and powerful. It would have been nice if his mother had been real with him. He and his mother have a complicated connection. If Rion hadn't run into the other clairvoyants, they might have been in danger because they were both withholding things from one another. This story taught me that obstacles make us stronger, which is a valuable lesson. We must encounter some challenges if we want to be powerful.
 
I have a problem with this book in some way. the author did not satisfyingly develop other clairvoyants. Each of them has unique skills. Even though Brady Moore explained it through Rion, it would have been interesting to learn how their systems operate as well. I would have preferred to read from their perspective. I still rate this 5 out of 5 stars.
 
I read without running into any mistakes. As a result, the editing is superb. It was well done by the author. If you're looking for a decent, intriguing, and entertaining sci-fi book, I highly recommend this one. Undoubtedly, this is for them. Since the main character is a young adult, anyone can read it.

I’m a big fan of sci-fi books. And I was not disappointed after reading this. I like their abilities, especially that of Aural. It’s my first time hearing of something like that. Nice review!

Rion who has always been around his mother while growing up was suddenly separated from her. I would like to know how he was able to cope with his life without his mother. I enjoyed your review.

I have always wondered what having power would be like, the effects it would have on my friends and family and the responsibilities that come with it. I guess there is a lot to be learnt from Rion.

I'm not a fan of science fiction, but the cover if this book is so appealing I wondered what eventually happened to Rion and his telekinesis power. Great review.

I've often wondered what it would be like to be in a position of power, what impact it would have on my friends and family, and what obligations would come with it. I believe Rion can teach us a lot of things.
