4.5

We Could Be Heroes put an interesting spin on the tried and true celebrity romance trope, creating a whole slew of characters who’s chosen family triumphed with love in times of hate. I was a bit lost at first with the time period changes to 1949, but once I realized what story Ellis was trying to tell, parallel to Will and Patrick’s newfound romance, I got invested in the lore of the Wonderverse and it’s true creators. I awarded it a 4.5 out of 5 — it did have some weak moment at the beginning of the story — but Patrick and Will were charming enough to fill the gaps in the narrative. I’m looking forward to Phillip Ellis’ future releases!

This one was hard for me, because I really liked a couple of the storylines but there was so much going on that I couldn’t get invested with any of the characters. It was hard to have an emotional connection to the relationships because I don’t really know them. The premise was a good one though.
