The sequel to Nubia: The Awakening, the epic fantasy from actor and producer Omar Epps and writer Clarence A. Haynes! A powerful saga of three teens, the children of refugees from a fallen African utopia, who must navigate their newfound powers in a climate-ravaged New York City.

Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho were among the first of a new generation of Nubians to awaken to extraordinary powers—gifts their parents lost when they fled their island home decades ago. And now that Uzochi has been declared a Nubian catalyst, everyone expects him to lead.

But what should be a time of rebirth and celebration is instead one of turmoil. The so-called sky king, Krazen St. John, is bent on harnessing Nubian gifts for himself, and he has assembled a special, superhuman militia to do his bidding, putting a ruthless Lencho in charge.

Facing down his cousin feels insurmountable for Uzochi, even with Zuberi at his side, but now there’s more at stake than the hostile government of Tri-State East. Uzochi’s training has led him to discover an ancient, forgotten force hungry for conquest—and it won’t stop until all of Tri-State East...and possibly the world...is under its control.

I would give this book 7 stars if possible! It is essentially an Afro-Futuristic blending of the Black Panther and X-Men themes/franchises. It is well-written; with the reader being able to easily visualize every scene and emotion. Well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gave me a Westerfeld 'Uglies' vibe
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2023
4.75 🌟; Thanks to NETGALLEY and Delacorte Press/Penguin Random House for eARC

Plot: 4.75
Characters: 5
Writing Style: 4.95
Cover: 5
Enjoyment: 5

This second installment is once more told in third person POV via by Zuberi, Uzochi, Lencho, and Sandra. Lencho's portions contain far harsher language than the others (which is fitting of the character's voice, his experience); just a note. The setting sticks to the immediate area of New York in the previous book, both on the ground and in the sky city. I did not see two of the shocking moments coming, and I enjoyed reading about some new abilities, as well as the growth between characters.

I wound up getting an "Uglies" (Scott Westerfeld) vibe, which is always my cup of tea. I felt that Omar and Clarence's writing skills were sharpened this round, more polished. They keep the voices of our narrators different. The end scene fight is *almost* too fast-paced for my tastes, because I expected a teeny bit more difficulty. However, the epilogue at least provides reasons, so my disappointment was lessened. I'll be continuing to read this series, it's fascinating.

I did find one contradiction in my eARC with Uzochi's mother, Comp'a. She states - "They’re probably just checking to make sure everything is okay, if we need help. They’re nice people.”'- about the neighbors, but then a few sentences later, Comp'a calls them morons...

I wanted to extend kudos for mentioning/using Ukrainian war footage (since theses books are set in the future, and thus, said war would have ended by then), Hiroshima and Nagasaki. as well as possibly September 11th?
