Travelers by Brett Riley
4.0
The freaks are back! This is the second book in the series, and it was just as good as the first.
Travelers continues with the group still learning how to use their powers, but they have to be much more careful because of the government agency following their every move. They're waiting for just one slip up so they can capture and contain them. This is made extra difficult by Micah, who seems to have a hard time keeping his rage in check.
I really love the inclusion that this book has. The first and second book have a lesbian as a main character and I really like that it covers what she deals with having to live in a smaller town with less than tolerant people. This book also added in a non-binary character, and even more bigoted people in the group do make an effort to understand. The "bad guy" in this book is also a Native American god and race places a bigger part in this book. And of course, one of the main characters is Black and it touches on how difficult that can be.
This book, like the first, was face paced and fun. It continued to flesh out the characters in a great way, and they all feel like realistic teenagers. I can't wait for the next one!
