The Siege of X-41: A Marvel: School of X Novel by Tristan Palmgren
4.0
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review from Aconyte Books via Netgalley.
I'll be honest, I'm one of those marvel fans who got into the fandom through movies and not comics. So I have a lot of catching up to do.
I requested to read The Siege of X-41 by Tristan Palmgren because of the cover. Please that is one beautifully designed cover that foreshadows the plot of the book without you even knowing it.
The book starts with Josh attending the Xavier Institute for Mutants being an omega level mutant himself. But there's just one thing about these mutants, their past can't seem to let go of their present. But despite what he'd done in the past, Josh—Elixir— wants to turn off the voices of the past and look at the new future he has in the X-men Institute.
But obviously bad things would always find a way to taunt a person. And Josh's torment comes in form of another mutant, Vic—Anole.
Vic is bent on hating Josh for his past and would do anything to expose who he truly is and how far his powers extends and prove he's a danger to the rest of the mutants.
But now, Karma has brought them together for the periodic repairs of the Station X-41 many feet below sea level.
So what happens when you toss a bunch of mutants with brewing internal hate and rage into an underwater station? I don't know, you'd have to read this book to find out. Hehe Hehehe.
Characters:
Josh is a broke character. Like the saying mutants have alot of trauma to deal with. He's not far from it as well. He's trauma is getting himself to believe he's a new person capable of doing good. And because of his past, he's scared of testing the limit of his powers. But when he sees his fellow mutants in danger, he has no choice but to believe in his strength and prove to everyone that he's not his past but he's a healer.
Vic: I loved Vic so so much. I love the enemies to friends trope between him and Josh. Vic showed his dislike for Josh openly. He's like that colleague who you want his opinion at every cost because that's when you'll feel everyone would accept you.
But I loved the overall character development between Josh and Vic.
Plot:
This was a slow read for me. But I really liked Tristan's writing style. They wrote in simple words like every Aconyte Books Authors has. Words that transported you into the story itself.
For a while I forgot that everything happening in the book was thousands of feet below sea level where there was no sufficient oxygen for humans to breathe and it was pressurised.
With bare firsthand knowledge of the characters, Tristan's writing didn't make me question who was who or even make me run to Fandom.com to search on the characters.
I loved the descriptions of each characters, their personalities, and the way they faced their trauma and battled together as a team despite their personal dislike for each other.
