It would actually be interesting to know how world war II would have been with such gifted people around. Great review of an interesting creativity of a novel.

This seems to be a very intriguing book. The superpowers are reminiscent of Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man.

Thanks for your enticing review!

Sounds like a very interesting cast, but I don't know if I could get past the backdrop and storyline.

Great review. I personally couldn't get through the beginning, which is odd for me. I'm a fan of this genre. Thank you for your thoughts.

Thanks for the honest review. I would like to read this book since it is a historical-fiction story which is one of my favorites. Another thing which I like about this book are the graces given to the characters. My favorite character is Xavier the baby.

I'm not keen on books with enormous casts, I prefer a story to concentrate on just a few protagonists. Large casts tend to inhibit character development.

I love stories with supernatural abilities (graces) and historical tendencies. Hopefully this will give the author a push to get some good editing done. ;)
