If you've ever felt overshadowed by the extraordinary, "The Rest of Us Just Live Here" is a refreshing take on heroism through the eyes of the unchosen ones. Patrick Ness masterfully grounds a story in the midst of a world brimming with heroes and battles, focusing on the personal struggles and triumphs of those who aren't destined to save the world. It's a narrative that cherishes the everyday and finds the remarkable in the mundane – a true celebration of the unsung and the overlooked.
