《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Deadly sin (2016)' by lunaticthegame

So... where do I begin this?
The story is about Abnormals and their factions, Abnormals being teens with superpowers. They fight demons.
That's the basic plot. The whole plot, however, is pretty complicated. The story is like, an arc of a series, and the book is a sort of sequel to the original version of it. There is a complicated, good explanation of the events prior to the arc, so it's still readable.
I really like the plot. It sounds cliché when I explained it, but if you look at the descriptions in the book, it's actually really well-thought out. It really has an anime feel to it.
I like the characters enough, and there are a lot of those. Seriously. But they're all pretty cool.
The GPS is... hm. grammar/spelling mistakes are present, it could use more editing.
Also, when you write dialogue like this:
"(Insert sentence)" Mazie says."(Insert sentence)." I reply.
It will get confusing, 'cause the reader doesn't know if Mazie is saying the second sentence or if someone else is saying it.
Try this:
"(Insert sentence)" Mazie says.
"(Insert sentence)." I reply.
It's easier to read that way.
Also, when you switch to someone else's point of view, which happens a lot in the later chapters, make sure you mention which character is the "I" person now. With all the characters there are, it becomes really hard for the reader to figure out which character we're following now.
On a more positive note, I love the fight scenes, the book deserves to be in the action category. Even if the fights get a little repetitive, I really liked them.
It needs editing, it really does, because it's hard to read, but it's fun to read if you can look past that.
Rating: 5.5

It is better to die knowing. Listen. The world as you know it is not as you know it.

He is also dying, right now, in the first chapter of this story. Someone has put a bullet in him. Agent Z is a fairly abnormal woman of no nationality. Her age is classified. Her name is classified.
