I did not based my five-star rating based on the heavy gay theme which goes against all of my personal beliefs. I based it on how well it was written, had a great plot and actually did make me feel protective of the characters trying to do good in an evil world. I could appreciate broken characters of any sexuality searching for love, though. We all need love. I usually don't read Science Fiction, but I truly loved this book. It was interesting to read how the author explained how various magical inventions worked based on scientific principals demonstrating the author's cunning mind. The action grows slowly. Little excerpts of information are provided that build toward this wonderful plot of saving those who are oppressed. The characters are so carefully displayed, yet concealed, to make you wonder the whole time: Who REALLY is the good guy and the bad guy? How far is too far to do terrible things in the name of the greater good? I have to admit that I see a glimpse of myself in the main character Noam, who is determined to fight for the underdog (in this case, the immigrants) and is willing to not back down from taking risks to do so. I have always pulled for people to have their rights, despite race, creed or sexuality. The ending is such that I am satisfied. It does leave the reader wondering what will happen next. I can easily visualize a Part 2 to this book. I won't say how, avoiding spoilers. It will be interesting to see if someone turns this into a movie. ( ) This book drew me in from the very beginning. I enjoyed the world building, the characters were awesomely diverse and well developed. The science was interesting and the world building and magic were awesome, but the characters, the characters kept me reading, they kept my attention. I wanted to know how it ended and yet I didn't want it to end! I can't wait for the next book. *Thank you to Netgalley for providing an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.* This book grabbed me from the moment I started reading it and still haunts my thoughts almost a year later. Firstly, the main character has so many layers to him that slowly reveal as the book goes on and some that change as he grows. The world building and magic system are intense, a strange mix of the familiar current world with understandable human foibles and the fantasy. The world in this universe was only fantastical through the magical plague, the human reaction to the plague, the classism, prejudice, fear mongering, false narratives, unreliable history are all realistic. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Featured in Seventeen, The Verge, Hypable, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, The Nerd Daily, Booklist, and SyFy Wire. In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia. The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks--refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister's offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister's son--cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful--and the way forward becomes less clear. Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he's willing to go in pursuit of the greater good. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
