Two years ago, The Pulse—a sudden shift in Earth's electromagnetic field—caused a global blackout and wiped a minute from mankind’s collective memory. This event introduced superhuman powers to our world and changed everything as we knew it.My Thoughts:
Now two young women are caught in the chaos of a changing world:
Christina Chung, an antisocial misfit whose force fields are fueled by the social bonds she broke during the event of her transition.
Former coke addict Sarina Baumann, whose reality-altering power forces her to abandon everything she holds dear.
The girls find themselves entangled with the renegade hero Radiant and the authorities that made him. The three must find a way—and a place—to be the heroes they're destined to become. But sometimes, even the heroes fall...Goodreads
I received a copy for review through NetGalley.
Superluminary is the first book in the Powered Destinies series by Olivia Rising which was originally published as two books. It took me several months to finish because the Kindle version is 970 pages long. However, I am really glad that I stuck with it. This was such a fun and addictive read about average people getting really amazing special abilities.
This novel follows many different characters from all over the world as they get powers and what they decide to do with them. I enjoyed watching as the characters formed bonds. It looked into the politics as well as the stereotypes surrounding people with powers. The plot had plenty of action. I found myself hooked, and needing to know what would happen next.
Superluminary was a fast paced book that I would recommend to anyone who loves character driven superpower stories.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
