I really love this book. It does read young adult. You can tell this was Jeremy Dooley's first book. However, I enjoyed the story. There was a plot that was continuously moving forward. The characters are well built up throughout the entire novel. I like the little heartfelt team building along the way. I could see this being an awesome graphic novel with the use of super powers. There is a use of new ideas that are not seen all over the super hero world. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves super heros, fantasy worlds, or even just a quick read that will keep them hooked throughout. I can not wait to pick up the next book.

Really good start into writing, but even in the second edition, there were still typos and grammatical errors making it hard to read. Jeremy's writing style has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see what he does next. However, this book, in particular, was very blunt in the descriptions and dialogue making it flow more like an essay than a novel.
The plot was really well-developed and felt like a videogame, though I would love to see minority characters that aren't your average token girl or evil black guy.

My biggest criticism of this book is that it felt like I was reading a movie.
From the pacing, descriptions and dialogue it just felt very visual. It was like I was reading a descriptive script more than I was reading a book.
The story is good but I could definitely see parts where an editor was needed. Some simple things were over explained while some things were left with no explanation. The characters all got in depth introductions only to throw them all away for the sake of codenames, which I felt I never got a chance to get used to.
Story was enjoyable and I’d definitely like to see more in this universe, I just hope Jeremy takes his time and gives it the edit it deserves.
2.5/5
