"Turns out, the beast says, you can hurt somebody with your brain. In fact, you can fuck a person up pretty severely and steal supplies and sneak out of a perfectly secure detention facility-if you’ve got an okay grasp on the physics of it.

This book wasn't quite what I expected, though now I've read it I didn't know what I was expecting in the first place.

I found it difficult to engage with Owen, and even harder to qualify his dad's "advice", which seemed scant little and tailor made for plot advancement. The narrative structure was interesting and the viewpoints quite cool (are the BBC really that patronizing, for instance?) The combat was good, the Zenith scenes very vivid, but I didn't get as hooked as I'd hoped.
