A very interesting review but the book does not seem to be my cup of tea. I usually don't enjoy sci-fi novels with such theme. However, I would surely recommend it to others. Thank for a detailed review.

Very powerful storyline.I like superheros and although this is generally for young adults, still I can say that I can relate to the characters since I am teaching young adults. I want to learn their feelings and opinions like school stuff, teen relationship and others. I like the character of Carly who turns Adam into a beautiful person to defy any destructive nature in him.Congrats BOTD!

I usually enjoy Sci-Fi and fantasy, but I don’t like X-Men. The book sounds more suitable for younger viewers. Thank you for your review.

Fans of sci-fi fantasy with superhero traits will find a treat in this young adult novel. It’s commendable that characterization is well done. Not a fan of this genre, though.

This seems like an interesting sci-fi/fantasy novel with an attention-grabbing plot and well-developed characters. The scene of Carly walking in and Adam smelling her scent and becoming drawn to her reminds me of Twilight.

This book follows the story of a teenage boy as he discovers about his biokentric abilities. In this intriguing story, these unique abilities are possessed by humans with mutations in their biology. This superhero story seems very intriguing. Congrats on botd!

A young adult Sci-Fi book that has a concept of human mutations sounds great. Opaque is a fantasy book that touches the genre of romance as well. This first in the Scion Saga Series piqued my interest. Thanks for your wonderful review.

This looks like a very interesting book. I have never read a YA Sci-Fi fantasy novel before but your review has really caught my attention, so Opaque will probably be the first book of this genre that I read😃

The review was very insightful , although I haven't read the book I had an idea about what the reviewer was trying to put across. It is not the type of book I would read as it is not what I normally would read. Ithink it was a sterling review.
