Looking forward to the sequel when it comes out, but the pacing here was not ideal and the characterization for characters clearly not coded White raised some eyebrows.

Superworld
by Benjamin Keyworth
I had to look at the book because of its description but found that this book has its own genre. The book is the idea that an individual that does not have magic or power has influence in the world. Like the dark sword series, Superworld looks into the problem of the hero without powers in a world of powers. Matt is one of the few people with out powers after the sudden appearance of world wide super powers. He hides from his family, friends and schools, so well, fooling all of them until a new student comes to town. A young girl vilified for her superpower, empathy, the ability to absorb super powers. Its a complicated plot, of super schools, and bully proofing the story shows the nature of friendship, and sacrifice.

Very good YA story. I look forward to the next in the series. Thanks very much for the free copy for review!

This book was indicated as a comic, but it is a novel and by the time I realised the book was not available anymore. This means I downloaded it in the wrong format which made it impossible to read in a pleasant way. I can't really comment about the quality of the novel because I had to give up, it's a real shame, the story looked very promising.
From the first page the premise is set up, what is that mysterious light that shone in the sky of July 6, 1963? We have portraits from around the world looking up... The writing is efficient, if not really original at that point, the voice is very even. The jacket suggests an interesting plot.

This book was amazing. I just loved it from the start. I got this book because I loved the cover. The simplicity of it drew me in. I'm not a big reader of sci-fi books as its difficult to find ones that I like because I'm autistic and they have to have logic. Yet this one worked so well it was fantastic. I loved the fact it had teenage characters as it is aimed at 15 to 18 yr old. With all the super powers it was so much fun this lead to the book being a real page turner. I loved the characters and how they had to deal with everyday problems. Especially coping with being different from others and getting bullied. I was so engrossed in this book that I lost track of time and finished it in one day. This is a very thrilling story line with a medium to fast pace and was so interesting that it kept my interest throughout. This author is definitely one to watch out for as the writing style was brilliant and flowed seamlessly. I really can't recommend this book enough to both adult and teenage sci-fi fans. I just know you are going to love it just as much as I did. I am actually hoping there is a sequel. 

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a magnificent story that was a fantastic roller coaster ride. I just can't wait to read more.
