Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

If you like superhero stuff, you might like this! I enjoyed the mysterious nature and conspiracy aspect of how the teens got their power. And I loved that they were smarter than the adults too! My absolute favorite part is the irony that they’re omniscient but the reader has the ultimate omniscience. The cliff hanger has me looking forward to the mystery of how the receive their powers!

Personal Rating - 7.5/10

Knowledge is fragile. What if all the knowledge were accessible to 5 teenagers through an unexplainable phenomenon? How would the world react? How would the government react? And what of their families?
The Omniscients sets out to explore these themes with a diverse cast of teens who are being kept at a villa without the knowledge of what is in store for them.

I loved Diego's perspective as an immigrant, and how this part of his identity shapes how he behaves and reacts to what is happening around them. I also liked Jessica's dynamics with her family. The Art and Colouring of the book matched well, but I have to say the colouring is very much visually pleasing

Something I didn't like as much was that the dialogue was a bit cheesy at times and the pacing of the story is faster than optimal. I'd like to know the characters a bit more deeply before continuing. It'd be amazing if we got a bit more time with the characters as they discovered their sudden superpowers.

That said, I hope to continue reading through the series and see where it leads.
