marjories's review against another edition
5.0
Excellent continuation of Eleanor's story. She is really coming into her own in this book, but that also means facing more demons from her past and questioning who she really wants to be - what she is willing to do and sacrifice to accomplish her ends. In her quest to eliminate one evil, is she merely creating a vacuum for another to fill? She is the type of character who wants a black a white world, a simple path to follow. Fight the bad guys, protect the weak. But the world doesn't always work that way. Her powers are expanding in interesting ways amplifying this. Relationships continuing to develop - also reflecting the prism of choices open to her and their varied results. She continues to be a modern feeling character in a heavily comic book inspired, diesel-punk feel WWII setting. This book hints at reasons for that too though.
This is book 2 in The Dawning of Superheroes series, which is in the shared universe of The Children of Nostradamus. This takes place prior to the The Night Series and can be read independently of that series. This book builds quite a bit on the groundwork laid in book 1 and although there is a self-contained plot it is a much richer and more enjoyable experience to read the series in order. The major plot point in this book was resolved, but there is much more story yet to come.
