We're going to be superheroes together!
This is the kind of story that possibly wouldn't impress me much based on plotting and worldbuilding alone, but oh, the characters absolutely make up for any possible flaws. I absolutely adored the entire cast, how fully realized each of the main ensamble members was, how the same thing goes for all the secondary characters, how diverse this group of wonderful, flawed people is and how human they feel. Yes, the plot was predictable at times, but the way each of the characters interacted with it and developed through it makes it a wonderful story. It's heavily centered on the subjects of family—blood family and found family alike, and in many ways it's a classic coming of age tale about learning to stand on your own while also finding people to lean on.
It was incredibly kind of the author to make this first book in the series free, and I'm can't wait for the next installment in this series!
