Superi #1
Reborn
Between 2,500 and 3,000 years ago an Angeli by the name of Nathon Bealson made a wonderful discovery. With the aid of his ability, he was able to open a great gate way that allowed Superians to travel to any of the dozens of moons surrounding their planet, but it wasn’t enough. It was then he made a terrible discovery, a life changing discovery that would curse us all.
He found that if he combined his epoto ability, with that of his gate making ability, he could pull an endless supply of energy from the elements, and use it to fuel is own strength. The reach of the gate ways he created became boundless.
By fortune or error he found a planet larger than our own, weightless, and lit by a single sun. It was called Earth. After many sojourns through the gate way, Superians grew curious, and joined Nathon across the galaxy to explore the new world.
In the years that followed, our welcome wore thin, and we found ourselves confronted by beings that called themselves gods. The gods were terrible, short tempered, and thought themselves invincible. Close to immortal, yes, but they were not invincible. A war broke out between the angeli and the gods, and for time, we were winning. Greeks, they called themselves, but when the Egyptian gods arrived the tables turned. Indian gods, and their Norn brothers and sisters, assured our defeat.
The battle was pure chaos, an atmosphere in which some of the gods drew added strength. We destroyed the very island we battled upon, sinking it into the depths of the oceanus, but it wasn’t enough. The fight for our survival began. We ran back through the gate way, in full retreat, but they followed us through.
It wasn’t enough for them to defeat us. They wanted to guarantee that we’d never return. It was an Egyptian god that cursed our race; splitting our bodies into two beings each, and creating four new races who became known as: the mortalis, the nox, the fulgo, and the fera. Still the gods were not satisfied. A Greek cursed our minds so that we could never advance in knowledge; trapping us in our current state.
So, here we are, broken into four races and unable to cross breed. Forced to never again know our true form. We will never feel our true strength, never wield the power of our ancestors, and we will never know what the Superians could have become had Nathon Bealson stopped at the moons, instead of reaching so far. Ignorant to the possibilities knowledge could have gained us, we wait.
We wait for the one with promise. We wait for our birthright to be returned to us, and for the day when we are reunited as one people; whole and complete, beautiful and powerful. We wait, to one day rise again…as the Angeli.

Violence is minor and sex is only alluded to in some small instances. The characters are affected by a clash between the human and the Superi worlds. A condition of peace is that the 4 powers of the Angeli from Superi world are seperated into 4 races with a 5th one being alluded to until the end of the book. This can be read standalone, but you become so invested with the Superi world and it's inhabitants that I think you will want to read more.
The ending is revealing and spectacular and the treacherous Imbellis Asylum, the central imposing enemy of all 4 powerful races . . . well you will have to read this on your own. If you are a fan of otherworldly powers and Science Fiction you will enjoy this book. This world is unlike anything I have read before. Love that. I rated it 5 stars because it kept me engaged and curious all the way to the end. I want to read the next book in this series.

The first impression of “Superi: Reborn” is that it is incredibly well-written, by a very skilled author (or two, in this case). Even before the book has opened, the attention to detail is made clear, as is the passion the authors have for the world they have created, by the detailed map and character index provided – elements which are often hallmarks of the fantasy genre.
There is an immediate air of oppression in this book, and it is clear straight away that the world of Superi is one of danger and intrigue. Immediately the reader is gripped by its disturbing events: a baby being cross-bred by an insane megalomaniac scientist. Thurmon and Williams have created a spectacular planet, with a backstory as old as time, and an ensemble of interesting characters, all vivid, yet multi-layered and multi-dimensional, which is something I love to see – there is no place for stereotype in grown-up fiction, which, in spite of its genre, this very much is (this said, the moody teenager antics at times do wear a little thin, but then isn’t that also true in real life?).
This is a good old-fashioned, Olde-Worlde fantasy, combined with elements of the teenage superhero genre – think part “Lord of the Rings”, part “X-Men”, then throw in a touch of “Cloud Atlas” for the sci-fi aspect. Like most old-style fantasy, it glories in its ultra-violence, and is at times brutal – and, of course, this all adds to the fun, which this book very much is. The story is archetypal: an action-packed tale of a band of brothers, led by a battle-hardened warrior to rescue his daughter – a quest which leads them right into the path of a powerful, maniacal arch-villain and mortal enemy. The ingredients are all there for an exciting portion of high-level treachery, swashbuckling scoundrels, super-powered mutants and fantastical sea monsters; in its backstory, a subtext of angeli and gods. Set on a planet inhabited by four diverse species of monopod, all sharing a common tongue, though some feral, the scene is set for great entertainment - and I have to say, Thurmon and Williams deliver. The authors appear to know their genre well, and look to have a real knack for delivering creative literature, in language familiar to fantasy fans – some of the turns of phrase turn up the corners of your mouth, as you nod slowly in approval while reading them. The action sequences are satisfyingly rousing, without overpowering the heartfelt story of family and secrets – in this, and every other respect, the book’s timing is flawless, its flow crafted for perfection.
This said, it does slow down a touch through the middle, most of which takes place on board a ship; but, in general, this section of the story is probably the backbone of the whole book – here is where the standard fantasy story becomes a soul-searching adventure for the characters who represent the leads; the ship’s voyage, therefore, becomes a metaphor for the journey of self-discovery of these coming-of-age youths, each of whom is struggling with the burden of his “difference” from society. The emotional atmosphere which rounds up this part of the book is actually at times very poignant and moving. By the end, you feel as if you know each and every character intimately (probably even better than they know themselves).
Very little is held back in the writing – not the violence nor the brutality of the oppression; the reader endures every moment of the characters’ suffering, and this is definite testimony to the authors’ passion for them. Clint and Christina have clearly invested a lot of time and effort in ensuring the book’s quality, and have done so well. If I’m being savagely honest, I’m not such a fan of the fantasy genre, and I did find myself torn between giving “Superi: Reborn” a four- or five-star rating; but the fact is these are incredibly meticulous and hard-working authors, who have hit on a winning formula, and credit must be given for this where it is due.
The cliffhanger ending is as unexpected as it is frustrating, but it certainly serves its purpose – its timing and execution leaves you urging to know what happens next, and, in fairness, this point in the story does feel like a good place to end this chapter in the boys’ life. This abruptness of the ending is softened somewhat by its being immediately followed by a preview of the next instalment in the “Superi” series, though I do wonder if they could have chosen a more enthralling excerpt to draw its appeal. Still, I enjoyed “Reborn” a great deal, and I very much look forward to reading the next instalment.

Superi Reborn
On a cursed world, a madman, intent on recreating what was destroyed, begins a quest that entangles the lives of five teenagers. Refusing to surrender to one man’s vision for the future, they choose to fight instead. Caught up in a web of lies and betrayals, trust becomes a commodity they cannot afford, as a secret hidden for sixteen years brings them to the forefront of the madman’s quest. To survive, they are forced on the run across Superi as they come to terms with the truths revealed. One amongst them is the angeli Reborn.
There were so many things that I really enjoyed about this book. The story read very smoothly. One thing I look for in a book is if the story flows like a movie in my head. There was no hiccups or confusion. The story was exciting and appealing. It kept me guessing, then when I thought I had it all figured out hints were being dropped making me second guess myself.
The characters are so real and relatable.
Set and Davad- I absolutely hated Set and Davad at the beginning. They are just so unruly for their age. I feel like they should know better and they just piss me off. They didn’t listen to Jacob at all. At that age they should know better. The further you get into the story you see them grow and their personalities really shine through and completely change your mind about them.
Tristan- I really liked Tristan. He is one of my favorite characters in this book. I just feel so badly for him for everything he has overcome and still has so much more to overcome. I just want to hug him and shelter him from all the negative shit that’s thrown his way.
Jacob- I liked his character a lot! One thing I hated most about him is all his secrets. If he would just let the boys in on some things I feel like things could have turned out a little differently.
Anliac- Anliac is by far my favorite character. She is so bad ass and with her aquis skills it just send her into a whole new level. She doesn’t stop fighting even when the odds aren’t in her favor and things look grim she keeps fighting. I really like that about her.
Shashara- I didn’t really care for her. She didn’t really stand out to me as much. I felt like Anliac over shadowed her in the story. Analiac has that way about her that she demands all eyes on her.
I felt out of the loop a lot until the end when you learned more about the races and Angelis. Just enough information was given to get you by, then at the end it all clicked. It made you feel like you were being left out of the secrets too. So you were right there beside the characters feeling the anxiety, anger, sadness, and the not knowing. You were learning right along with them. It made for a really great journey.
Now for the bad part. To be honest there were only 2 things that I disliked about this book. One of my biggest pet peeves is repetition. I can’t stand repetitive words and phrases in a story. One thing that stood out to me a lot was the over use of the word trepidation. It was used enough that it caught my attention every time it showed in the story. The 2nd thing that I disliked was the book cover. I felt like the guy on the cover was not Tristan. He looks way too old to be him. I guess it’s just the facial features. It’s manlier than a teenager. He also looks constipated. Just wasn’t a fan. I love the back drop of the planets, moons, and the starry sky. The cover is what draws you in and it just didn’t do it for me.
Overall I found the book awesome and addicting. I would definitely recommend it to others. I’m also looking forward to the 2nd book in the series so I can see what happens next!
Quote from the book that stood out to me that I LOVED!
“You can trust a fera to be led by instinct. You can trust a mortalis to be more heart than head. You can trust a fulgo to see power and that a nox will place his prowess above his own life. You must know what a man is if you are to judge his value and intent. My men don’t trust you, Yellow eyes. They don’t want your help.” (Triton, Superi: Reborn P. 115)

I finished the book today and I have to say that I can not wait until the next one is released, talk about a cliff hanger! I really felt for Tristan and everything he has had to deal with growing up and being different from everyone else. The "death" was a little heartbreaking but it's only going to make them stronger, I hope! The Superi world was a little confusing to me throughout the book but towards the end everything was clarified. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends!

If you're looking for a new take on the fantasy adventure genre, I'd suggest reading Superi: Reborn by Clint Thurmon and Christina Williams. Many years ago a mad scientist created a new kind of creature by mixing the blood of those that were already in existence. As soon as the child, Tristan, was created it was stolen away by a mercenary who raised him as her child. Unfortunately she died, and he and his brother Set were raised by their parent's best friend, another mercenary and a telepath Jacob. After Jacob's daughter is kidnapped to become a slave he is joined by his own son, Davad, Tristan, and Set to bring her home . This journey will rip the boys from their comfortable lives and thrust them into manhood. I had trouble getting into this book at first. There were lots of new places and words that were not really explained for quite awhile and it didn't hold my interest, but I kept reading and found myself being drawn to the actual characters more and more, especially the main character of Tristan and his younger brother, Set. The authors show you various points of view in this book, and sometimes that got a little confusing as they would switch from one paragraph to another. I didn't realize this book was the first in a series and was pretty upset when I got to the end, thinking how could it end when it's really just beginning?! Then I learned there will be at least one more book and my anger subsided...a little. I'd recommend this book to teenagers older than 13 as their is quite a bit of violence and death, and any adult who enjoys fantasy or coming of age stories. I give it four out of five stars!

If you're looking for a new take on the fantasy adventure genre, I'd suggest reading Superi: Reborn by Clint Thurmon and Christina Williams. Many years ago a mad scientist created a new kind of creature by mixing the blood of those that were already in existence. As soon as the child, Tristan, was created it was stolen away by a mercenary who raised him as her child. Unfortunately she died, and he and his brother Set were raised by their parent's best friend, another mercenary and a telepath Jacob. After Jacob's daughter is kidnapped to become a slave he is joined by his own son, Davad, Tristan, and Set to bring her home . This journey will rip the boys from their comfortable lives and thrust them into manhood. I had trouble getting into this book at first. There were lots of new places and words that were not really explained for quite awhile and it didn't hold my interest, but I kept reading and found myself being drawn to the actual characters more and more, especially the main character of Tristan and his younger brother, Set. The authors show you various points of view in this book, and sometimes that got a little confusing as they would switch from one paragraph to another. I didn't realize this book was the first in a series and was pretty upset when I got to the end, thinking how could it end when it's really just beginning?! Then I learned there will be at least one more book and my anger subsided...a little.

This book was one of the few books that really had my attention from the beginning, and held firm. My honest opinion is that this book is a good read ,I can't wait until I read the rest of the trilogy.

Well I'm a little bias since I created it but I love the characters the most. I hope everyone can find their favorite spot and post something about it, tell me what you think good or bad.

I have to say, I do like fantasy, but I'm pretty picky about what I read when it comes to it. But I have to say this book caught my attention and held it and it was hard for me to put it down once I started the book. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next in the book of the series.
To be honest, I was confused at first but the further I got into it the more I understood the world they lived in and lives they led. I understand why Beth did in the beginning and now Tristan has to live with what happened to him. Jacob does what he has to do to keep the family alive and move when they have to even when they don't want to.
I would definitely recommend this book to those who love fantasy.
