Overall, I felt like this book checked a lot of the needs of a superhero fantasy book. The powers and characters kept you drawn in throughout the book. I loved the variety of powers and talents throughout the cast of characters, it was nice to see a variety of powers from controlling insects to manipulating poisons. Another amazing thing about this book is how the main character is a woman, it's hard to find modern-day superhero stories that follow a woman. Overall, I loved the plot and idea of the book more than the writing, the writing style was a little basic and easy to follow but it was not terrible. I have a couple of problems throughout this book, like I said the writing style was a little bland so it was hard to be drawn into the stories sometimes. There was also quite a bit of confusion throughout the book, I feel like the cast of characters was too big. I felt like the inclusion of five people on the Renegades council made it confusing to follow, and it didn't feel like they added anything to the story. I feel like the storyline would have flown better if Caption Chromium was the only council member, possibly including Dread Warden because of his relationship with Nova. Ultimately, it was an entertaining, vibrant superhero story about a young mysterious woman who trying to find her footing in a world of chaos and confusion.
