bookcub's review against another edition
2.0
Here’s a quick review:
It was bad
Which made me sad because there was decent diversity
But it was free, so no surprise there
The pacing was terrible
And the worldbuilding was confusing
The characters were boring
And they had stupid named
(I know it’s acknowledged in verse that Good Guy is a stupid name but his secret identity is Alex Manners)
The trans character’s backstory didn’t make sense, dude, just tell your sister you are trans instead of brainwashing everyone around her to tell her about your gender. Trans characters have terrible rep already, can you not make them more sympathetic and well developed?
Side note: the book was listed as an ace book??? there was no ace character in book one tho?????
Anyways, really not a good book
The plot twist was confusing and I don’t think it was properly
And it was so boring to read, even though it was an action novel

If you love super heroes (or villains) witty dialog and a fast paced story, you will love this book. I knew I was buying the next book in the series before I was a full 1/3 of the way through this one. The rest of the book didn't disappoint either, it got even better. The characters were amazingly well written, the narration has a unique voice that really enhances the story, and the plot kept me guessing all the way to the very end. This is a great book and well worth the read.

This wasn't really what I expected. I didn't really like how the trans guy character was handled. Also, the main two guys didn't actually get together in this book, but they hopefully will later?

This series is an extremely enjoyable read! Loved the take on superheroes and the liveliness of the characters. Full of a lot of original ideas and fresh twists on old favorites.
The characters are definitely the best part of the books, but the plots are intriguing as well. Loved it, heartily recommend to anyone with even the vaguest interest in superheroes.
