Well, I must correct this by a bit. Actually he had those abilities from his childhood and he accidentally utilized them several times. Once a girl who tried to kiss Rion was pushed away. And in another occasion same thing was done to a bully. So it did not came like a sudden revelation. He always knew that he is different, and later on he learned how to control his abilities.

This is the classic boy with superpowers story. To give this style of science fiction a new twist won't be easy because in my opinion it almost certainly been done before. Don't get me wrong however i love it and can't get tired of the classic boy with superpowers storyline.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Sep 2021, 00:26 The book features the constant battle between a group of people with super powers (the Clairvoyants) and a group who are determined to eradicate them (the mysterious organization which tries to capture all the super-powered ones).
The moment I took this in I thought "this is a common concept which has been used in sci-fi fantasy for a long time". And with its published date (2021 May), it is unlikely for the other work to be inspired by this book.
What do you think? Is this another book in which can be categorized as a common sci-fi fantasy with super powered fellows and their rivals? Or has the author been able to create something more with it?
