Unique by Starr Z Davies

Genre: Science Fiction; Young Adult; Dystopia

Ugene and the other test subjects escaped Paragon. They thought they were finally safe. But the battle for freedom is far from over.

Now, Ugene must fight to liberate the city from the clutches of the oppressive government before the rogue group, the Protectorate, launches their own dangerous attack. But digging into the Directorate’s corruption could be even deadlier than escaping Paragon.

As the clock ticks down, it’s more than just his own life on the line.

It’s time for the deception to end. And it’s time for everyone to finally learn that being Powerless isn’t weakness.

Unique is the thrilling sequel in this YA dystopian sci-fi Ordinary series. If you like fast-paced action, dynamic characters, and ongoing mystery, then you’ll love Starr Z. Davies’ series sequel.

My Verdict

This is the second book in the Powers series. You should definitely read Ordinary before reading this one.

I actually think I enjoyed this one a bit more than the first (which I sped through). The author jumped right into this book and I did not really find the lulls in action that were present in the first either.

There is a great chemistry between the characters, and a depth that makes them realistic and flawed. Ugene annoys me sometimes because some of his decisions seem ill-advised from the start, but that is what makes him believable as a character, I suppose. The novel is well written and I enjoyed it. If you like dystopian novels and you enjoy a quick read, check out this series. I give this one 4 stars.
