Book Review - Psychic Suit by Osawese Agbonkonkon

What if the fate of a city rested in the mind of someone barely old enough to vote?

That’s the pulsing premise behind Psychic Suit by Osawese Agbonkonkon. It is a bold, genre-fusing debut that doesn’t just flirt with sci-fi, it locks eyes and dives deep. If you’re into powers that go beyond punches, politics that feel a little too real, and characters who bleed between the lines, this book will grip you from page one.

Written by a 20-year-old student-athlete from Texas (yes, you read that right), Psychic Suit isn’t your average hero-saves-the-day setup. The stakes? Massive. The vibe? X-Men meets Black Panther, with a hit of political thriller and mental health realism stirred in.

The plot orbits around an alien metal, psychic abilities, and a looming terrorist threat in New York City, but don’t expect clean-cut heroes or predictable twists. Osawese builds a layered world where legacy, wealth, and trauma collide in unexpected ways. The characters are young, but they’re not playing—it’s power, privilege, and psychic warfare, all wrapped in a narrative that knows when to sprint and when to simmer.

Writing

it’s sharp, cinematic, and unafraid to punch through genre walls. Osawese clearly grew up on Marvel and Afrofuturism but adds his own flavor - equal parts techy and tender, serious and sarcastic.

Highlights

Psychic battles that actually feel mental
Diverse characters with real stakes (and even realer flaws)
A fresh voice that refuses to play safe
 
 
Self-published voices like Osawese’s are rewriting the rules of fiction i.e. faster, fiercer, and freer. They don’t wait for gatekeepers. They build their own. And when they hit, they hit hard. Psychic Suit is the proof that the future of publishing might already be here.
