The Ables by Jeremy Scott
4.0
First thanks to NetGalley & Jeremy Scott for giving me a chance to review this book!
I was really surprised by The Ables, which is really a good point. I was expecting yet another superhero tale, but this changed for the better. First and foremost, the main character, and his friends, are all disabled people. While it exists in some comics (like Daredevil), it's always nice to see characters different from the average-middle-class-white-guy-perfectly-normal. This, for a start, was really nice.
The story takes some time to build up, but for a better, explaining how exactly in the world the superheroes are able to stay hidden while living their lives, and how exactly those are arranged. The whole structure is quite strong, staying logical with itself during the whole book which is really good.
My main concern is concerning the age of the main characters, which are supposedly 12 years old. In my mind, regarding the maturity, reaction and things like that, it felts more like 15-16 years old, but that's quite a detail.
Overall, the story is really good, even if you can guess most of its plots, it's still great and enjoyable, a really good time :)
