It is a fun quick read. I enjoyed the characters and world building. However, I really dislike stories that pause in the middle of the action with a TO BE CONTINUED "ending." Maybe that makes it truer to its comic book roots, I don't know,but it just feels like half a book.

I prefer series in which each book can be read as a standalone, it drives me nuts to really enjoy a book and then find out it ends in a cliffhanger and the next one hasn't been written yet. Other than that, this was one of the best reads I've had in a long time. I hope the next one is out soon!

From the beginning to the end, this is such a fun read! Gail (or should I say Hostage Girl!) has such a great voice throughout the novel, a voice I find myself relating to. Her reactions are very adult and yet incredibly funny and witty. The characters are so great. The plot is exciting even though there's less action. I actually appreciate that the novel is more about characters and story than it is action/fight scenes like a comic book would be. The ending was so comic book, though, even ending with a "To be continued". Just so classy and amazing. I cannot WAIT for the next book in the series!! I recommend this for EVERYONE! Whether you like superheroes/comics or not!

As a guy who grew up on comic books, I really enjoyed Lexie Dunne's take on the genre. She brings an obvious love for comics to the story with plenty of inside jokes. Even if you don't know a lot about superhero comics, I think you can enjoy this one.
The story's strongest parts focus on Gail learning all the behind the scenes stuff that superheroes do between their adventures. There's a lot of great world-building.
Perhaps the only gripe I have is that a lot of the plot remains unresolved by the end of book one, which isn't all that different from how a first issue in a comic book series would end. I'm giving this four stars, but I'll admit that it's closer to a three-and-a-half. I opted for four over three as a show of faith that the next book(s) will lead to a satisfying payoff.

Loved the world-building in this and it's a fresh take on the superhero genre.
