Faith: Taking Flight by Julie Murphy
3.0
Faith is beginning her senior year of high school with her two best friends. She lives with her Grandma Lou, whom everyone adores, and volunteers at the local pet shelter. She's super smart and has a wee crush on a boy from her school newspaper. Also? She runs a super popular fansite for the popular TV show, The Grove. But something happened the summer before senior year and Faith is t quite sure how to handle it.
Faith by Julie Murphy is the first of a two part origin story about the plus size, queer superhero from Valient Entertainment comics. Faith seems to take everything in stride that happens to her. Murphy creates a charming and super likable character in this backstory.
I did have a few issues. The actual origin of Faith's powers was straight up ridiculous. She doesn't come across as a stupid person in the rest of the book, but this one decision early on is beyond asinine. Also, Faith's two friends, especially Matt, are horrible. They get mad at her for doing the exact same thing they do to Faith. I'm not sure I want to read the next one. I do appreciate the diversity here and I did like Faith (except the aforementioned decision) and Grandma Lou. But, yeah. There were issues.
