The storyline appears to be an interesting one. Although I've encountered something similar to this. The errors appear to be the major downside of this book but I do hope it won't stop one from enjoying the read. Great review.

The book seems really interesting. All the Kinetic power appears magical. I would love to read this book. It is intriguing how he uses his powers. Great work on the review. Congratulations on BOTD.

With the elements of fantasy and supernaturals, this book is right up my alley. The protagonist seems likeable as well. Thanks for the recommendation!

This seems like a great book to read. The ordeal of Rion Grean will be nice to read. Also, I have a feeling that Rion Grean's gift will have a link with his father or mother. However, I will love to read this book. Nice review.

I love that the cast is diverse, especially the main character. It’s a bit disappointing that the review mentions the book going from one plot point to the next so quickly that the more secondary characters don’t get to develop as well as the main character does. I love a strong plot, but for me, it’s necessary for there to be good character development with all major characters (important minor ones) balanced with a strong plot. Still, this book might surprise me, so I’ll add it to my “to read” list anyway. Thank you for the helpful review.

From Rion Grean's upbringing to the different twists that came up after all made a very interesting and suspense-filled book. Congrats on being the BOTD.

It would be shocking to not only find out that you are part of a clairvoyant community but there are people who wants to eradicate your kind, this must have been hard for Rion. It's a pity the character development was not properly done, otherwise, I think the book has an interesting plot.

It’s important – and I hope constructive for the author – that you pointed out the limitations in character development: ‘Moving Rion’sstory forward should not come at the expense of the other characters’ agency.’ I would have also deducted a star for this reason. However, the book seems well-suited to a young adult audience, particularly as it is based on a ‘sulky emo teen’ in the first place.

This book is interesting. The life of the main character is full of mystery: his father's identity and his telekinesis ability.
Reading is a journey to the world.

inaramid clearly elaborated the premise of the story during the first two paragraphs. I am personally disappointed by how the book does no seem professionally edited due to the numerous minor errors that it contains. Still, I congratulate Brady Moore for having "The Fourth Kinetic" as Book of the Day!
