It has been a long time since I last read a young adult book. So, this book seems perfect because its sci-fi also. The review is beautifully written. Added the book to my self.

The mutation conversation seems to be interesting. I would love to understand how it all came about. Sci-fi is not my genre I won't add this to my library.

Dealing with normal puberty is a difficult feat all on its own, so I can't imagine what Adam is going through with all the added mutation drama. This doesn't sound like a book for me personally, but those interested in dark fantasy will love this book. The idea of superhero traits sounds intriguing, though! Congrats on the BOTD selection!

This is one-of-a-kind young adult sci-fi. The "descendants" which pass through generations caught my interest. This made this writing an exciting read.

The multifaceted plot of this book sets it apart and saves it from being cliché. I think the storyline is interesting too.
Congratulations to the BOTD.

A biokinetic fiction! This sci-fi genre is interesting in bringing together religious and cultural elements. This reviewer has presented a balanced assessment of the book. I think I will read it sometime.
