halfbloodapril's review against another edition
5.0
Brought to life through slapstick dialogue, electric fight scenes, and sweeping visuals, UnOrdinary peels back heroes and hierarchy against the backdrop of Wellston High’s magical elite. John, the school zero, must fight for his life against his classmates’ incredible abilities; his only friend is Seraphina, Wellston’s most powerful student who turned from study machine to slacker. Their friendship made the book shine with authenticity and ingenuity: they were two sides of the same coin before they knew it yet, clinging to each other through loyalty, courage, and dry humor at every turn. Yet when the wrong person begins to pick on John, there’s much more to dig into than anyone would have thought — a past John tried to erase but threatens to destroy him instead. Flashbacks and visual parallels made for a fascinating exploration into the true degradation of a social hierarchy constructed on born powers. This time, John must confront the one thing he cannot defeat with flashy moves or feinting out: himself.
