Superior by Mark Millar
3.0
An elegant little story about moral choices. Pits one 12 year old boy who usually makes the right decision against temptation, a bully, and a demonic monkey in a space suit. Also the Taliban, but they’re apparently the easy enemy.
It’s not perfect. Most jarring for me; the female character felt like two or three characters who got squished together to streamline the story.
But the kid was believable; the stakes were gripping, and I appreciated that an aging actor stepped up when he didn’t have to. A nicely Faustian fairy tale.
