Oh, this was fun – it reminded me a lot of Stephen King’s The Stand.
A deadly new virus spreads rapidly around the world killing the majority of people who contract it. Of the survivors, a significant minority develop supernatural abilities, or transform into mythological creatures (fairies, trolls, etc).
So it has the exciting beginning, where the virus is first spreading, then the apocalyptic world falling apart stage, then the coming together of groups of survivors for good or bad and the discovery by the special ones of their new abilities, and the reaction of the normals to these people.
I liked a lot of the characters and I’m excited to read more books in the series.
