Brilliance by Marcus Sakey
3.0
I couldn’t decide between a 3 and a 4 really.
I think I need to cut on the Sci-fi (especially dystopian kind) because that’s all I’ve been reading lately and the pattern in all of these books is painfully similar. This book was very predictable. I didn’t see one thing coming but by the end of that chapter it didn’t even matter. It was almost as if the author had a stroke of genius but he was like nah.
Anyway the X-man feels are real in this. One thing I liked, is that the abnormals dont shoot laser beams out of their palms or are not psycokinetic or whatever. It just makes things interesting that they’re to every extent normal people who can just do certain normal things in a better way. That sounds vague but in my head it makes sense. This saga has been highly recommended to me and it just doesn’t seem very exciting right now. I’ll read it to completion of course.
I’m hoping to see certain things happen and if they do happen this series would be just another among the many mediocre books around right now. Dazzle me
