I gave up on The Great Passage as well as Wayfarers. Decided this year that if I’m not enjoying, I can give up, and move on to something else. Placing it in my life is to short, not for me category. Read several chapters of ebook Great Passage and it felt like an eternity and when checked how much had finished, expecting to see 75% and only saw 35%, decided enough was enough.
Wayfarers is a continuation of Passage and it’s been a couple years since read Passage, so was completely lost as Wayfarers didn’t give much explanation, expecting one to know what had happened. I have no intention of reading Passages again. So gave up.
On to Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum and YA Fantasy Super Powereds Year 1 by Drew Hayes. This is book one out of four and my brother sent me the whole book series which are super chunky.
“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 student 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. Because 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…”
