Reception

Tasha Robinson of NPR gave a positive review of the book, stating "Zeroes is a trilogy launch, and it openly leaves room for development that's still to come. But it also leaves room for a little joy amid the turmoil, and a sense that even limited, troublemaking supernatural abilities would be worth the hassle." Michael Berry of Common Sense Media gave the book four stars out of five, calling it a "Clever but overlong tale of superpowered misfit teens." Kirkus Reviews states "In this series opener by three acclaimed authors, intriguing protagonists and cinematic powers will surely please adventure fans who don't mind an ensemble developed at the expense of the individual."
