The premise of this story was really interesting and I loved the blurb and reviews of the book. Unfortunately I didn't finish it and I can't say what I didn't enjoy particularly, it just didn't hold my interest. I'm possibly not the target audience.

A great book for teenagers, possibly young adults, but perhaps a little young for older readers. The ideas are great, and I think that as the series progressed it perhaps becomes a bit more interesting, but this is the first book and I have not read the others, just their blurb.
I would have preferred a perhaps more developed style of writing, but that's only my preference.

When Mickey and his friend David find a mysterious suit that grants Mickey super human powers whilst on their summer holiday a journey begins that could change the course of human destiny forever.
This is a very enjoyable book by a new author, Michael H. Burnham. Staying away from the current trend in young adult books of constant killing and general morbidity he has provided a story of hope and morality. At times reading this book I was reminded of Rama, a series of books by Arthur C. Clarke. With the ultra smart aliens and the tests to find them worthy or not.
The story focuses on four children who end up being chosen by aliens who having discovered everything there is to know in the universe have lost both the ability to evolve, or change and with it the will to live. The children, well teenagers are your average school kids not super smart nerds who would normally find themselves in this sort of situation in books. The story flows at an enjoyable pace, not seeming rushed or like its rushing through things.
This book does feel like a prelude for things to come and I look forward to seeing what developments to the story come from future books.
• Overall I would recommend this to sci-fi lovers wanting something not to heavy, or for teenagers who are getting into the genre and already enjoy sentai tropes like power rangers or other suited types.

I really wanted to enjoy this title. There is a large demand for space type books and adventures in my YA section and I am looking for new books to fill in these gaps. This one just isn’t going to be one of those books.
The characters were fine and I enjoyed that banter between and that went on throughout the book. Ernie was a great second perspective that gave the story multiple dimensions. The story itself was a solid one with great messages and a fun adventure with some great mysteries added in. it was the writing itself that I found lacking and turned me off from this title.
The narration seemed very drawn out and unnecessary. This could have been a much shorter book with a more fast paced adventure that I think could have caught my, and most teen’s, attention. There was a lot of repetition about scenes, basic thoughts, and general ideas that seemed to be a bit of an overload. The writing perspective was also off pace. It was clearly written by and adult trying to fit in among the YA crowd (actually explaining a fist bump in a paragraph was a huge eye roller to me). The dialogue, although entertaining at limes, felt very juvenile for a YA book.
This title needs a lot of work in my opinion and should either have a younger cast or get an older voice. Although it has great morals and an exciting premise, I could not recommend it in this form to my readers.
