The Ascension: A Super Human Clash by Michael Carroll

5.0

This is not a perfect book but I give it my five stars because it is a book that is right up my alley. I really enjoyed the first book and would've hated it to be a standalone. I was so excited to see that there was a second that I bought it, the third and the forth all together to save me time chasing them down later.
This one continues the adventure from book one. It takes place only a few weeks later and the heroes are still recovering. Abbey is testing her limits with the help of Paragon, Roz and Max are getting back to business, Thunder is focusing on civilian life with the family and no one has seen Lance since they fought Krodin and he was placed in protective custody.
Brawn comes back and gets a great moment to shine. Thunder has to learn really quickly what his power can actually do. Even Slaughter returns but in a really enjoyable way that I hope gets flushed out later. My one real unanswered question involves her and a kind of "how did she become bad then?"
Long story short, I like Superheroes. This series and this book are fun for me. Could you find better somewhere else? Sure but I don't want to. I like these characters and I'll continue to follow their story.
