A coming of age story with a twist. Rion's character sounds relatable. I'm curious as to what Rion's ability was, the difference with the other telekinetic strain of clairvoyants and whether he reunited with his mother or not. I guess I'll have to read to find out. Thank you for a concise review.

This coming-of-age tale with a twist has a welcome diversity in its cast not often seen in this genre. It sounds like a compelling read. Thanks for the great review!

Frankly, this sounds like a typical young adult fantasy story; it sounds interesting nonetheless. I wonder what exactly Rion's gift is.
Congratulations to the BOTD.

The book talks about the diversity and types of clairvoyants and how a completely different entity comes and they feel threatened by their presence. The book has potential to be a very intriguing and hooking read. I might give it a try in the future.

Thanks for such an honest review. I have a bias towards novels about young people with super abilities because of how cliché they can become, but you highlighted factors that make the difference for me; like the conflict the four clairvoyants experience, of being "powerful and yet feeling powerless" and that moral dilemma between simply being good or evil.

This book seems like it would make a great movie. I love that the book is inclusive and diverse with the main character being black. Can't wait to read this. Great review.

I have to admit, I like this story. The plot is very fascinating. I love that there are characters who have abilities. I'm curious to find out what secrets Rion's mum has been keeping.

Thank you for your candid and straightforward review of this book. Rion is a teenager who is forced to constantly move and adapt to a new environment each time. Meantime, he is also still discovering the full potential of his 'gift'. I thought, his struggles were realistically narrated.

I look forward very eagerly to ready this book. The plot of the book seems so promising. It has been a while since I read a book that had characters with superpowers in them, but the last time I did, and every other time before that, I had always loved it. So, I guess that means you can call me a fan, I would love to add this book to that list of superpower-related booklists of mine. Great job by the author. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Young adult science fiction is not usually the type of book I read but this does look like an interesting storyline. I'm interested in seeing how the story plays out with Rion balancing his powers development with life as a teenager as well as learning more about the secrets of his past. Thank you for the informative review.

One thing I really enjoy in such books is character depth which according to the review is maybe lacking a bit. Regardless, the plot seems really interesting and very suitable for people who love reading young adult and supernatural genre.

Normally in super hero subject won't know their birth details coz that gonna reveal secrets beside... Rion who endowed with telekinetic energy thought even his mother don't know about it.. People having these abilities called clairvoyants who are also very surprised to discover Rion’s existence.Let's see which option Rion choose to use abilities or to hide in the shadows.. to be predator or prey..?
Let's join Brady Moore with the flow of story with so many characters to know the story.. That was a good review for The fourth kinetic.
