It is not often that I can honestly say that I read something that is wholly unique in design, at least to what I have come across so far. However, this book accomplishes that task with an imaginative world/universe, unique races and abilities, and characters that grow both physically and emotionally. In some ways, this book almost feels like watching an anime or super powered being show.
After becoming stranded on a small rogue planetoid, a race of beings who have lived their whole lives as part of a very strict caste system must undertake their societies greatest taboo to survive. They will adapt themselves and evolve from what they were told was the “perfect beings” they were to one’s strong and more fit to survive the environment they find themselves in. But when a rescuer discovers that they have broken their greatest and most important law, their former lords will stop at nothing to wipe them out completely. But the new race of “Zee’s” are diverse in their evolutions and adaptations, each wholly unique from the others both in physical form and capabilities. Some have even managed to control frequencies, abilities that allow them to alter reality in some way. But an old enemy has found them and seeks to devour their race before it expand further, an enemy even the Zee’s creators fear.
The first part of the book that took me a moment to adapt to was that the book centers around a non-human race, similar but still alien in comparison to humanity. The design of the “frequencies”, or special powers, of each character and how they manifest and are used is different from other super powered stories I have read in the past. Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next iteration. If you’re a anime, Sci-fi or super powered being fan, this is a book for you to read.

Universe 333 is one of those books that pulls you in from the very first page and refuses to let go. What makes it so compelling is not only the richly imagined world but also the way it captures the raw instinct of life itself—the need to fight, to survive, to evolve. The story begins with the Omnitians, a species slowly spreading across solar systems, filled with ambition and promise. But everything changes when a ship deviates from its course, stranding its passengers in the unforgiving reaches of the Outer-31 system. Suddenly, their journey of progress becomes a brutal struggle for existence.
I was struck by how vividly the author brings these moments to life. The battles are intense, but it’s the desperation and determination of the characters that stay with you. Watching the survivors grapple with impossible choices—accept their fate or fight against it—felt both heartbreaking and inspiring. And then comes the birth of the Zees, a new race forged out of survival itself. Their emergence raises profound questions: How far will life go to continue existing? And at what cost?
This book is more than just action-packed sci-fi—it’s a thoughtful reflection on resilience, transformation, and the fragile yet unyielding spark of life. A truly captivating read.

I love this book, not only because I am a sci-fi lover, but also because it contains subtle moral lessons on personal freedom, mental growth, and acuity, as well as insightful topics that pique my interest in the universe like never before. The non-human Zeekind and Omnitian characters are portrayed in a very relatable way, and I enjoy their interaction with their environments and themselves. My favorite characters are Honsa and Zeemond, because they have the best character development so far. "Universe 33: The Baptism of the Zees" is a true masterpiece that makes sci-fi reading so much fun.
