beastreader's review against another edition
5.0
Shades of Gray picks up and continues on from Black and White. After revealing the academy has been using mind control on all the super heroes, Iridium and Jet hope to stop them once and for all. Now that the super heroes are no longer under the control of the academy, things are a bit chaotic. Some of the super heroes did not like learning that they were puppets and have taken to vandalism and a life of crime. Others like Jet are still super heroes. Iridium and Jet will have to band together to stop the villains from taking over New Chicago. As well as stay out of the clutches of the academy.
Shades of Grey is just as awesome as Black and White. I couldn’t get enough of this book. I read it in one day. These books need to be made into either movies or television series. This book featured more super heroes and villains. It was nice to get to learn more about Jet and Iridium before they became who they are today. Not to give anything away but I hope to see Jet and Iridium battle it out some more. Shades of Grey is gold!

So good! After finishing Black and White, I couldn't wait to read this, and I actually liked this one better!
The story was so interesting, and with the new information about the Icarus project and Martin Moore, it keeps you glued to the pages, trying to figure out the mystery for yourself. I also love the flashbacks to Jet and Iridium's parents, and their time as heroes, too. To me, it's so cool and unexpected that the way these stories are written is in a way that, the further you get into the present and future, the farther you go back into the past, and it makes for some great storytelling.
The action sequences were great, as were the little nods to other superhero comics and films. (Was that shade thrown at the Avengers in the end?!)
And, like the title, I love how everything in this story is truly in a shade of gray, and it isn't black and white, like we were thought to believe. Just take a look at Jet and Iridium's parents! Bet you didn't see that coming.
So four stars to this, and I hope they're working on a third!
