Summary
Paige and Gavin Powers are unique. It's in their very DNA–a gift from their legendary father, the current Minister and Hero of Elpis. But the two are nothing alike.
Gavin, the wonder child, displays multiple unfathomable superpowers. He can manipulate matter and energy to his will, dissect information in seconds, and he remembers everything he learns perfectly. The limits of his potential have yet to be determined.
Beside her brother, Paige’s Muscle Memory is good for one thing–a special military program her father doesn’t want her to join.
Overshadowed by her gifted brother and famous father, Paige yearns to prove that she is just as good as they are. That she is a Powers through and through. So when a mysterious signal hints the citizens of Elpis may not be as alone in the world as they were led to believe, Paige eagerly joins a mission into the desolate unknown to uncover answers–accompanied by her brother and four others.
But as the reality of the outside world closes in on them, Paige and Gavin tumble into a desperate fight for survival.
Desolation is the first book of Powers Legacy, following the children of Ugene Powers as they forge their own place in the shadow of their father's legacy. A perfect series for fans of Red Queen, The Maze Runner, or The Darkest Minds. The series twists dystopian, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, and fantasy together, adding a dash of superpowers.

Excellent 5/5
Amazing starter of a series. Really caught my attention and I look forward to more. There was just enough back story to the characters to keep me intrigued and wanting more. I would definitely recommend this series.

Great start
The series is off to a fantastic start. Both characters have incredible powers that have fascinating uses. The world-building is Epic and the storyline is very well defined. Can't wait for book 2.

Not for me
It's really rare for me to do this, and I'm sorry about it, but this is a DNF for me. The world and the premise of this story sound really intriguing (and are what caught my attention in the first place), and since this came recommended by a trusted Dystopian author, I thought I'd give it a go. Yes, there's language, but I was willing to overlook it since this enhanced Earth society seemed interesting, especially with the main characters (Paige and Gavin) being the kids from a Superior who rebelled against the higher-ups and created, in a way, a new society. However, I didn't know (read: it wasn't in the blurb or reviews) that Gavin was g4y. I debated whether to continue with this book, since, again, the plot is intriguing, the action hooks you from the first chapters, Gavin is a super genius and Paige has some really cool powers, but based on that aforementioned detail, I know I'm not the intended public for this story.
Also, a note on the narrator, he's really good with giving different voices to the characters, but maybe he could work a bit more on the female ones, though I guess you do end up getting used to it. His strength is clearly with the male voices since you automatically know who is speaking.
So, if you're looking for a dystopian read and do not have the same issues as me, I'm pretty sure this is the book for you.
