I really enjoyed this book - the characters are all distinct and well written with an engaging plot. The idea is somewhat similar to X-Men but they call themselves Talents, each gifted with a different psychic or physical superhuman ability. However, it's a little more realistic in that Talents tend to go insane the stronger their ability is because the human mind isn't equipped to sustain the kind of strength or abuse it gets from the Talent use. The group this book centers around (hilariously nicknamed the Butterscotch Squad by Jin) are sheltered-in-place in central Paris and each have their own distinct past, usually rife with abuse, but work together to hide themselves from the ominous KGA, a shadow organisation that collects and uses Talents for nefarious purposes. However, as the action ramps up, who is actually working against the KGA becomes a little more muddled and it ends with them on the run.
