This was a fun book. I loved the plot and the characters. I enjoyed seeing our team of heroes grow and lean together. Although it does seem like a bit of a strange mix of powers (I would have expected a bit more physical strength). Just be warned, that while most of the book is fun, other parts are vey sad. I teared up a couple of times.
One of my biggest issues is how everyone figured out he is gay. Simply stating he was with a specific man? How does everyone get gay from that? There were also several times when things seemed to be a little too convenient (including parts of the ending). A weird amount of time was also spent rehashing his parents' relationship. I get that parts are important, but it felt a bit drawn out? While other events (arguably more interesting events) seemed a little rushed. Like the ending. While the build up to the end end was amazing (both happy and sad and very tense) the actual end was a little flat in comparison.
Despite its shortcomings I'm sure that those who enjoy superhero stories who are in the mood for something fun and gay will enjoy this book. Its strengths are definitely better than its weaknesses.
