Velveteen vs. The Junior Super Patriots by Seanan McGuire

4.0

Velma used to be a child superhero, until she ran away from the controlling marketing department shortly before her 18th birthday. All she wanted was a quiet, anonymous life, without an army of animated stuffed toys and plastic models following her around everywhere but Marketing have other ideas. This was a fun collection of related short stories rather than a single linear plot, although I realised on looking at the other reviews that this is probably significantly caused by the original publication as blog posts. Obviously not complete but some clear foreshadowing for the next 2 books. I love just about everything she writes, but her more recent work is much stronger, hence 4 stars here. I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next 2 books but would suggest new readers don’t necessarily start here.
