Should this go in my comics shelf, despite not being a comic or gn? Who can say for sure?

Apparently this is the third in a series, which I wasn't aware of when picking it up, and now I'm definitely interested in going back and reading the first two. From what I gather, one doesn't need to read the first two books in order to enjoy this one, but I'm curious nonetheless. Additionally, I will state that if you are getting into the CW Arrowverse and just starting to watch The Flash, this book does contain spoilers for at least the first three seasons.

I have to say that I really enjoy the way Barry Lyga has written this, and it was such a delightful little read. Intended for a YA audience, I believe? Still enjoyable. I suppose my one major complaint for this book is that it's titled for the characters of the Tornado Twins, and yet their part in the book is rather minimal. We focus more on The Flash's time traveling adventures (and while I'm not the biggest fan of time travel in media normally, I tend to make an exception for The Flash,) and Team Flash's attempts to save the day in present time in his absence.

Regardless, I had a lot of fun reading it, and I highly recommend it to fans of the show!
