There's a bad case of insta-love, and considering that Nix wants to assassinate Claire, it's not necessarily the smartest decision she'll make when she falls for him. All of the original lore is by far my favorite aspect of the novel. There are so many unique elements to admire in NOBODY. And let's not forget Nobodies, who are easy to relate to because everyone goes through a period of feeling overlooked and forgotten, even when standing right in front of someone else. Nulls are dangerous and evil when we're introduced to a young Null late in the book, it's chill-inducing. When touching in the Fade, they can even freeze time. The Fade is an in-between place where Nobodies are able to slip in and out of when travelling to pass unnoticed. There are Sensors, five-person units where each member is extraordinarily talented in one of the four senses for tracking purposes. The amount of detail and creation that has gone into NOBODY is vast. What happens when two Nobodies join forces to stop an evil, corrupt secret organization? Life as Nix knows it will never be the same again. Suddenly, he finds himself questioning everything The Society has ever told him, every target he's ever illuminated. Until he realizes that Claire isn't a Null, but a Nobody like himself. Nulls and their psychopathic tendencies sicken him, and when he is assigned a new target to eliminate, a teenage girl named Claire, he doesn't question it. Master manipulators, devoid of human compassion" (pg. He believes in his duty to eliminate Nulls, "the ultimate somebodies.soulless, broken monsters. He's been put through torturous training to become an assassin like no other-one who can slip in and out of the world unseen.
NOBODY is in third-person, so readers get thoughts from both Nix and Claire. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away." There is an organization called The Society that finds Nobodies and trains them to be assassins, because only they can slip away unnoticed. The book's tag-line? "There are people in this world who are Nobody. We're talking people that are blink-and-you-miss-them. No, we're not talking Kingdom Hearts-esque Nobodies here. Unlike previous books by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, which deal with creatures seen before such as werewolves, the author now shares her own creation, Nobodies.
The premise for NOBODY is unique, and upon reading it, even more so.
