jkenna1990's review against another edition
5.0
I thought from the cover of this book that it was a graphic novel which was the initial reason that I requested to read and review this, but I was wrong about that. I am so glad that I accidentally picked this book because it was fantastic! I didn't know that it was the fifth and final book in a series when I picked it up and honestly for the most part I couldn't tell. I will one hundred percent be going back to read the other four books in this series though and I can't wait to do that. I started reading this around 10 at night after work one day fully intending only to read a few chapters just to get started and read until 2:30am. I didn't want to stop reading but I needed to get *some* sleep.
I really liked this book for multiple reasons. The story was fantastic. I felt like I was reading an amazing movie with badass female characters and a fast paced plot. The characters felt like they were fleshed out really good and they all were fully formed people with plenty of flaws. There was no part of this book that I skimmed or skipped over because I really wanted to read every little bit of it. I may have gotten a tad teary eyed when it ended. I fully wish that Mai and Xochitl were real people so that I could hang out with them (although I'm pretty sure Xochitl would terrify me at first). I would highly, highly recommend this book. If you are a fan of X-Men or superhero type books then I think this would be right up your alley. If I could give it higher than five stars I 100% would.

4 stars. This was much better than Power of Mercy. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I was shocked to see that it was in Xóchitl’s point of view which I loved. I adored being in her head and seeing everything through her eyes. She’s such a brutally blunt and honest person. She’s unapologetically herself and I loved that. The romance is still very much in the background but that was fine. Her and Mai are great together and I feel like their relationship really grows and develops throughout this book. I love the way that Zedde writes action scenes. They are very entertaining and intense. The ending was great and ends Xóchitl and Mai’s story perfectly. I really enjoyed these books and these characters. I definitely plan on continuing on with the rest of the Superheroine Collection series.

A Lover's Mercy is a page-turner of a book and an entertaining read. I only wish I knew it was a sequel.

Representation matters, so I really wish I liked this book - which features lots of non-white characters and has a queer couple at its heart - more than I did. Unfortunately I found the narrator quite unlikable and wasn't compelled by the plot. Mind you, the narrator didn't seem to care about the plot either, showing a distinct lack of curiosity or proactive engagement toward the events going on around her..
