A review by cgbart
Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn

5.0

Okay I was a bit concerned going into this because, you know, I LOVE EVIE TANAKA AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T HER POV, right?

NEVER FEAR. THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE AND CREATIVE AND FUNNY AND HEARTFELT AND WONDERFUL. 10/10 would recommend for more Asian Lady Superheroes being amazing in all aspects and ALSO for use of one of my favorite tropes. I wasn't expecting to relate to Annie so much--she is, after all, a total diva in book one--but I found her incredibly empathetic and her search to balance identity with work incredibly compelling. Bonus points for literally everything because seriously I loved this book so much why are you still reading this LOVE YOURSELF AND FIND A COPY.


(On a less emotional note: I wasn't sure how Kuhn would carry this off, even though Complex gave me every confidence in her. I needn't have feared; this book is possibly even more fun and even better written than the first, and I cannot wait for the third one.)
