Is this another coming-of-age fantasy about a super-powered teen, his friends and rivals?
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?

I felt the same. Whenever we see supernatural guys they have their rivals who just want to get rid of them. This has been a common base for the development of many similar sci-fi fantasies and Brady Moore too has used that. So I do not see any uniqueness in this story.Jessica045 wrote: ↑02 Sep 2021, 20:16 Personally, I think that this is another coming of age sci-fi story. A high school guy suddenly gets powers and now has to take responsibility for it's usage... They are all the same.

Though there are few unique things to this story, and for the details of it per se have never been used before, the core idea is the same. Rion and his Clairvoyant friends face their rivals, as happens in X-Men, Avengers, and many more. Do those subtitle differences make this book unique enough to grab the attention of the intended audience?Courtney Hughes wrote: ↑02 Sep 2021, 22:47 This book has all the aspects you mentioned: coming-of-age, battle of good and evil, fantasy, etc. I think that the author was able to capture my attention with the relationship Rion has with his mother and his inability to make meaningful connections at first. I think that those points are something different the author offers to the reader.

Rion's character and his style to tackle his setbacks is interesting too.
