You all don’t understand how much I love books about morality especially were the characters could eased be villains or heroes if we see thinks white and black, but thinks are never like that.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed the book, but I’m not sure if I want to read the second one.
I’m happy with the way things ended.

An interesting read. A quick jump to action with the flashbacks in alternating chapters, but other than that it was compelling. In order to read this, you have to fully commit to believing in superheroes, if only for a few hours. I would recommend this to fans of the television show The Boys.

A very interesting look into villainy. The jumbled storyline (particularly in the beginning) was a bit hard to follow at times, and the characters made some truly abhorrent choices. But this brand of super powered people that Schwab has introduced is very intriguing. I kinda wanted more info about the various superpowers.

I really loved this book. I've read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Schwab and already enjoyed her writing style. I love how perfectly timed the time jumps in the novel, providing just enough context to the present time.
