A review by erosrichardson
Hero by Michael Grant
3.0
....okay.
Lots to unpack here.
Let's start with the fact that the series was unnecessary all together. I know Michael Grant himself said he made this series for funsies because he wanted to play around with superhero storylines... that nerd.
Anyway. 3 books years after the first series ended, for what? 2 books of slowass plot and villains with the same arc and same describing sentences in each book. The whole "It's not my fault" or "I'm always in the right" thing got really boring really fast.
Originally I thought Michael Grant was making these extra books to bring an official end to the series. But no!!! I was wrong!!!!! He wrote 3 more books just to end on another cliffhanger!!!!!!!!
And my entire childhood. 9 books. Just to use an ending on the twist of "and then he woke uo and it was all a dream"
A SIMULATION??????? 9 BOOKS FOR A SIMULATION MADE BY THE CHARACTERS NOT EVEN INTRODUCED UNTIL NOW????? BFFR.
I know I know Grant wrote it to just play around with the universe some more. But the fact he used to read fan fiction with his wife is really starting to show here. Some things are better left uncannon on ao3.
Anyway, complete let down of an ending, incredibly slow. I'll give it 3 stars because this book was better written than the last one, more like the original gone series, but I did have to give up on annotating because of how much it was boring me and slowing me down. I'm gonna pretend this series ended with light!!!
