*BOOK #1 IN THE OUTLIER SERIES**It is recommended to read this series in order. Portions of the story may end in cliffhangers.*(#1) Outlier: Rebellion(#2) Outlier: Legacy(#3) Outlier: Reign Of Madness(#4) Outlier: Oblivion(#5) Outlier: Five KingsEvery citizen in Atlas, the last city on the planet, is born with a unique, special ability, and no one sleeps past the age of two.Except for Wick Lesser who, at seventeen, still sleeps. Hiding this rare ability from the world, his father, who can calculate futures, trains him in self-defense and combat while his healing-gifted mother works an unglamorous job in the muds and keeps his secret safe with the help of Wick's older brothers. The Lesser family of the ninth ward slums manages to keep afloat, suffering under the corrupt, greed-driven Kingship of the Lifted City.But not for long.In the first installment of the Outlier series, Wick's unassuming slumborn life soon explodes into a full-speed adventure of danger, betrayal, and self-discovery when he secretly joins an underground rebel movement working to take down the oppressive ruling power. But the task is far from easy, and there are more adversaries than Wick can count. Not to mention the complication of an intense, unplanned attraction ... to someone on the wrong side of the rebellion.Powerful forces are gathering to put an end to the uprising, including the city's elite crew of law-enforcers called Guardian, of which Wick's own two eldest brothers are sworn members, and all corners of the slums grow ever restless: a lustful boy with blackened eyes leads a violent street gang, with Wick's younger brother as his newest recruit. A cunning orphaned girl whose ability is to be unseen, sees everything. And high up in the Lifted City, a privileged and wealthy boy yearns for an exciting new life in the slums.Their world is at a precipice of great change. No one is safe. The rebellion has begun.*** Reader discretion advised: contains M/F and M/M romance, mild violence, and adult language. *** Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The first story I ever read by [a:Daryl Banner|4264615|Daryl Banner|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1376367801p2/4264615.jpg] was [b:The Slum Queen|22369872|The Slum Queen (an Outlier prequel novella)|Daryl Banner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1424585118s/22369872.jpg|41780943] a prequel to this story which is featured in [b:Moments in Time|22095647|Moments in Time|Dominic K. Alexander|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400189170s/22095647.jpg|41439333] an anthology. I enjoyed it enough that I went on to read [b:The Beautiful Dead|18314097|The Beautiful Dead (The Beautiful Dead, #1)|Daryl Banner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1426726466s/18314097.jpg|25812366] which is one of my all time favorites.
I don't know the official classification of the Outlier series, but I would categorize it as dystopian sci-fi. It begins sometime in the future. Most of the world hasn't survived as far as we know. What's left has been divided into sections of slums (much like a third world country) and a raised city (sort of royal palace for the high born). People now have something called a Legacy; we would call it a super power. These abilities range all over every part of functioning from the mundane to the amazing.
The book follows the story from several characters POV. It helps you to be able to understand everyone's position and reasoning. Most of the story centers around the Lesser family—father, mother and five sons. Each family member has a different path they are on. And each has different players in their lives shaping and molding their futures.This book is filled with so many roles and connections: mother, father, wife, husband, son, friend, lover, boss, enemy etc. I must say though that my favorite was the relationship between Anwick and Athan. Although this book is not inherently erotic, there are a few hot scenes mixed in. Some are between a man and woman, some between two men.
The main theme that in my opinion continued to pop up was the life-changing decisions. Every action or inaction they made caused a reaction.
This author really has his own way of telling a story. It's different from any other author I remember reading, a wonderful difference. He definitely has a gift, coming up with fresh plots and composing them in a most appealing way.
This installment is definitely just the beginning. So much information was given, but so much more is still left to the unknown. I will positively be waiting to read the next book in the Outlier series. I'm impatient to find out what Wick's true Legacy is and what fate has in store for the rest of this diverse cast.
