frhygge's review against another edition
4.0
A really fun adventure if you have read the previous books. I had trouble remember some of the names from the earlier books. I wished I had noticed the glossary/list of names at the back of the book before I finished the novel - one drawback of kindle is that it's hard to notice these sorts of things. A note at the beginning pointing it out would have been helpful. Also, there were many minor typos in the book, although they were more distracting than confusing. Still, for those who have enjoyed this series, it is a lot of fun. I was a little disappointed in the previous one (featuring both other writers and the worlds/properties of other writers), although it was very creative. This one was a return to what I've enjoyed from Harmon. I'm looking forward to the next one.

An enjoyable read, but I do not think it really pushes the story forward that much. Well, in a few ways it does but it is kinda rushed namely Astra's relationship with Kitsune. Still a little sad that Grendel was pushed aside for Kitsune. Also, the situation that Astra was in . . . I've read another superhero book, Ex-Purgatory by Peter Clines, and that book did it better. In my opinion. Not going to spoil it but lets just say that what Astra goes through in the book we only go through one part of it. In Ex-Purgatory, similar situation but we get to go through all of it.

Not what I was expecting with the title, 'Recursion', this series continues very strongly on the detailed world of supers and their interactions. Although it feels like a few things I'd like to have seen happen in a prelude, or detailed out before the "shocking," surprise, it is still one of the better super-heroic series out there, and all the better for its brilliant avoidance of all the problems the title suggested.
The weariness of recursive, ret-continuity stories in comics set up some pretty high demands for this book; and it managed to weave a fantastic story and create numerous surprises without knocking the dominoes over until they were all in line to create a beautiful woven image.
I recommend it, and the series highly.

I was sooo confused
In the beginning of this book, but it is sorted in the most desirable way.
Less over the top than the last one it is an excellent book in this series.
