Ugene and the other test subjects escaped Paragon. They thought they were finally safe. But the battle for freedom is far from over.
Now, Ugene must fight to liberate the city from the clutches of the oppressive government before the rogue group, the Protectorate, launches their own dangerous attack. But digging into the Directorate’s corruption could be even deadlier than escaping Paragon.
As … Paragon.
As the clock ticks down, it’s more than just his own life on the line.
It’s time for the deception to end. And it’s time for everyone to finally learn that being Powerless isn’t weakness.
Unique is the thrilling sequel in this YA dystopian sci-fi Ordinary series. If you like fast-paced action, dynamic characters, and ongoing mystery, then you’ll love Starr Z. Davies’ series sequel.

The troubles were not over after the escape from Paragon. The uprising of the Protectorate is beginning, but can they be trusted either?
Starr Z. Davies kept the action and emotions running at full tilt in this second book in the Powers series. A fantastic story that I didn’t want to put down.
I also enjoyed Nathaniel Asher’s performance. His timing and pacing were great, and he certainly kept me engaged in everything that was going on.

As good as “Ordinary”
Davies pens a grand story in Unique, which is the sequel to “Ordinary.” I recommend reading both books in order. This author brings the stories to life. The pace of the story fit the story, that was filled with struggles, battles, and oppression. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and a depth that makes them realistic and flawed. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. A very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. The story revolves around the test subjects that escaped from Paragon. The quest for freedom becomes a battle for survival, for all groups involved. Unique is an enjoyable reading journey. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews.
Even better than the first book.
I really like the narrator. He brought the story to life. This part of the story was more exciting and attention grabbing than the first. Once Ugene and his remaining friends escape from Paragon they land in the hands of the Protectorate. The Protectorate has some similarities to the Directorate and it’s up to Ugene to use his brain power to figure out how to liberate his city from the subjugation imposed by the Directorate while trying to figure out if he can trust the Protectorate to truly help with the liberation effort. The battle for freedom takes it’s toll in even more of Ugene’s friends. There are still some threads that need to be tied up at the end of this part of the story and will hopefully be addressed in the last installment of the story.
This series keeps getting better and better. I really enjoyed listening to the sequel of Ordinary. This book picked up off right after the events of Ordinary, which I loved.
The plot development was fantastically done. The author made it so much better and it got thicker each chapter. There were more plot twists and shocks as this book went on. I loved how the author kept world-building throughout this book and making it more complex. It really helped with the plot. The story-line did lose its path one or two chapters, but overall I enjoyed it.
The character development was well done. I would have loved to see some development in some minor characters. They did feel one dimensionally, but overall most characters did have much depth.
I am still in love with the dystopian setting of this book. It was great to see how this book kept to it and didn’t lose the genre’s feel.
The narrator was once again brilliant in narrating this book. I loved how the different voices stayed the same for each character. The narrator also didn’t make this book feel boring.
Overall, I loved listening to this book. The narrator made sure never to make you bored in listening to this book. The author wrote an incredible that kept you wanting more.
