Rion's gift and relationship with his mum are what I wish to explore in this book. Great job!

This is amazing and quite informative. I love how the author used suspense to give a detailed narrative of his story. Good job!

This sounds really fascinating. I wonder how Rion will manage all this, as life seems to have had a sudden interruption. Thanks for the review.

Wow, another interesting YA fiction to add to my growing list. I'm kind of intrigued by how Rion will develop in this story. Will he be able to find a place among his kind?

I love the character of Rion. Though the novel has science fiction content I could still feel the relatable nature of Rion's character. Great work by the author!

I'm definitely not a fan of how the plot moves so quickly, especially when it comes at the expense of character development. Still, the presence of a piece of discourse on power is intriguing. Thanks for the review.

Okay so at first I was like is this going to be another young adult army brat finds love finally stays in one town book and then powers were introduced and that seriously spiked my interest. So as I continued reading I realized I now have to buy your book to find out what is going to happen with said powers and what is going on with mommy dearest... I found myself able to relate to the outcasts in this story and that helped with being able to zone out and absorb the text. The writing style used has a nice flow to it so I never have to reread the sentence so I can just shift into the author's universe with ease. Which is what everyone wants when they read right? Im looking forward to reading the rest!!

Rion's gift sounds like it would be a trial to have. I would be interested in seeing how he learns to control it. Thank you for the insightful review.

I found the official review to be ok but it could have given more information about the other characters other than the lead character is black and was a sign of diversity. Rion is an interesting character and I am intrigued as to why he is different from the other characters that have telekinetic powers. While I do not usually read science fiction, I would be interested in reading this entire book.

Wow, this looks promising! I always love to read something about underrepresented people, like me. I feel like we're finally getting the recognition we needed. Love this so much. Will definitely go through this once I'm done with my current read. Thanks a lot.

The protagonist, Rion, is a troubled teen with superpowers. The author narrates his journey of self-discovery as he builds a relationship with those of his kind. Questions about Rion's identity arise, complicating the already messed up puzzle.
