The writing was a little simplistic in characters not recognizing each others’ secrets. I like switching perspectives of course. But the audiobook readers were DREADFUL! Interesting to consider modern political polarization in comparison to their dystopian society.

A lot like a Marvel movie. I don’t think I’ll reread, but I do want to know what happens in the rest of the trilogy.

I hated the ending.

Really action packed, didn't get boring even as they explained the world they live in. 

I liked how Nova struggled to define what is right/ wrong and for which team she wants to play. The banter between her and Adrian was great though I'd have liked there to be another reason, apart from him, to make her review her morals. Without that it still felt a little childish but by the end when we learn that Ace is alive is more believable that she would think she's doing the right thing since she's following the man that saved her.

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.
