Quick Summary: A spectacular, action-driven, emotionally staggering whirlwind of a ride
My Review: Evo Uprising by Kipjo Ewers is book #2 in The First series. It is a sci-fi/fantasy thriller that is out of this world.
About the Book: "Seven years after the Judgment Virus - also known as the EVO virus - swept across the globe, humanity finds itself divided. Some have perished, while others have emerged with extraordinary powers, transforming into superhumans. These beings now walk among us, shaping a world where heroism, villainy, and superhuman military units become the new norm, hinting at the possibility of a Cold War on the horizon.
At the epicenter of this transformed reality stands Sophia Dennison, the inaugural and most potent superhuman on Earth. Unintentionally altering the course of history, she grapples with a sense of alienation from the humanity she once belonged to and an aversion to fully embracing the race she inadvertently created.
Choosing a life of partial isolation, Sophia wields her extraordinary abilities to aid humanity on her own terms, eschewing the conventional roles of hero or villain. However, a looming threat to the planet forces her out of the shadows, compelling her to confront not only the diverse spectrums of her past but also the potential destiny she may hold."
About the Audiobook: This book was narrated by Ozzie Jacobs. The voice play and character representations were so diverse. From the youngest characters to the oldest characters, the narrated presentations were riveting.
My Final Say: Where do I begin? This book was brilliant! There were so many layers to it. After reading book 1 , I thought I had an idea of where the story was heading, but I never could have imagined what was to come. There were new threads, there was darker messaging, and there were a whole lot of stances taken, which gave some serious food for thought. It's like this book was an education on transformation, choices, personal truths, and overcoming the impossible.
The thing I most appreciated about this installment was the fact that it had such rich emotional arcs, especially related to Sophia and Kimberly. With that said, I must say that I was also really pulled into the young team members backgrounds and their overall storyline. The drama, the dynamics, the challenges , the threats - it was next level.
In terms of the villains, MAN OH MAN!
Other: The books in this series includes the following:
Book #1: THE FIRST
Book #2: EVO: UPRISING
Book #3: GENESIS
* A word of caution: Readers should definitely read any and all author's and/or publisher's notes about this book. There are a number of triggers.
