It was interesting but also felt like it didn't need to be as long as it did (though how much of that is skewed by me trying to finish it by the deadline I'm not sure). I'm not sure if I will read the sequel, I thought the take on powers and school for kids with powers was somewhat unique, and I liked a lot of the characters, but again felt long to me. Maybe it would have been different reading rather than listening?
