The Fever King by Victoria Lee is a science fiction book where we follow Noam Álvaro, a survivor of a magic virus outbreak. This magic virus would kill his entire family, but his survival would give him the ability of being a technopath, the ability to manipulate technology around him. He is forced into the magical elite of Carolina by the minister of defense, where he meets the minister’s son, and learns the secrets and corruptions of the government.
I loved The Fever King by Victoria Lee. The book is set in a futuristic dystopian society where a magical virus sweeps through states killing almost everybody, rarely leaving people to live. The main character, Noam, struggles to decide who to trust and who not to trust after developing magical powers and being put in a whole different world to what he was used to. It was a thrilling story to read and always kept me on my toes. Victoria Lee is incredibly talented with creating and demonstrating many different magical abilities.
