All of the stars. ALL OF THEM!!! One of the most impressively written books I've ever read. The layers that made this book come together is beyond words. Down to the last line, it is brilliant. It is no wonder to me that it has won awards.
Girls start waking up with electricy coursing through them, and able to harm others. Of course men see that danger and try to control it. Societies all over the world are in upheaval as they try to deal with this change in evolution. You follow multiple POVS as you follow the story around the world. Ultimately, what happens when there is a major (and potentially violent) power shift in throughout world?
This book contains triggers that will potentially make you very uncomfortable, please take care to check them.
