About this listen

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities - one that they must guard from even their classmates.

For every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings - Powereds, as they are called - have always been treated as burdens and second-class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super.

That is, until now....

An interesting take on a school for teen/young adult super powered people. Not the deepest of plots, but certainly entertaining and deffinitely worth a listen imho.

Slow start with the narration and too much he said she said for an audiobook but honestly I truly enjoyed this. It’s credit day next week but I had to buy more credits to get straight into the second book

Well worth it

Although the protagonists are young adults, this story can be appreciated by adults of all ages. A great mix of intrigue, humour & drama weaves through this tale of a group of teens learning to utilise their powers under a veil of relative secrecy. It’s a mark of good storytelling that I can’t wait to see what happens next. Book 2 already downloaded.

The character developments are well done, all the key characters are very likeable. The narrator did a great job.
