This was a fun read. I liked the worldbuilding with the superhero society. The cast of characters were fun. Personally I didn't care for this particular book. I found the plot predictable and it got slow at times. I thought the ending was rushed.

I feel like this book (ironically) has a case of mistaken identity. It wants to be a YA superhero story, and it certainly deals with topics that would be seen in YA stories, but for the most part the writing felt more suited to a younger audience. I ended up skimming over several paragraphs after a while and 9/10 times when I continued on, I didn't feel like I missed out on anything important. Plus I get the impression that Meyer has a better understanding of hate crimes themselves rather than the marginalised communities they impact, and how those people live in society.

Also rather ironically for a book based on superheroes, I think the story would have benefitted from being produced as a graphic novel or written as a cartoon over being written as a novel. Her descriptive skills are solid enough that I could easily visualise what was going on.

Also what was up with that ending? What benefit is there to having the previously assumed dead Ace be actually alive if he's just going to show up randomly at the end without any prior warning? I assume this is going to be explained in the next book but this was so boring that a lazy cliffhanger isn't going to keep me wanting to know.

I love Marissa Meyer's writing! This book took a little longer to pull me in than her other books, but I still really enjoyed it. I love
the slow burn between Nova and Adrian!
There were many twists in this book that I didn't see coming- especially the end! Overall it's a great book with many twists! I am very excited to keep reading this series to see how it ends!
