If you enjoyed the first book, you won't be disappointed by this one. A couple of young, gifted outsiders and their friends take on the malign forces of authority - church, mafia, and mind-control boarding school.

It's also got the British psychic mutant equivalent of a gunfight at high noon. I might get into trouble for saying it, but I like this better than N.K. Jemisin's "Broken Earth" series.
