It’s less about his powers, which he’s very uncomfortable with, and more about how other people perceive him before and after they surmise that he has unusual abilities but doesn’t want to use them, for good or bad. Weylyn’s story as he grows from boy to man is told from from the perspectives of nine different people, seven of whom knew him, one that only heard about him, and from Weylyn himself…for one chapter. But one day he single-handedly stops a tornado that threatens the family that takes him in, and he and they realize just how different he actually is. Weylyn Grey is an orphan boy raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin. It’s such a relaxing read that it borders on boring, but it’s pleasant nonetheless. Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance: A Novel by Ruth Emmie Lang is one of those walks. Others are walks in the park on cool summer evenings, where the sound of children laughing on swing sets and the breeze caressing the back of your neck makes you forget all your cares. Others are mountain treks, difficult but well worth it for the beauty and exercise.
