There’s nothing (absolutely nothing) that I could critique about this book as it was just a delight from start to finish.

It’s the perfect story for fans of HP, Percy Jackson and Amari and the Night Brothers looking for their next thrilling and magical adventure. And the story-within-a-story also worked very well and could be useful to the characters in forthcoming books. There are some parts of the book where I felt the transition were a bit off and it was a tad chaotic at some parts but overall, it wasn’t a bad read and here are the some highlights why I liked the story.It was fast-paced and jumped around from setting to setting (again, so similar to PJO), and the world-building was done really well.

As a white, UK-based reader, I liked both the fantasy plot and the weaving into it of important topics. As you could expect, Angie Thomas is another one of those authors who couldn't be bothered to give some explanations on her inspirations. Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Propheyc follows Nic who lives alone with her father and is a part of an "undercover" magical community. Meeting Nic Blake was a delight and I loved her character from the get go, along with every other character in this book! Although as a white Australian, I'm not the best judge of this, to me at least it felt like this was a great aspect of the book.The gravity of Thomas's world never weighs down the story, which zips along with wit, humor, and sparkling dialogue. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. They are Manifestors – Black people who have the Gift within them – and who can see vampires, werewolves and all kinds of Remarkables.
