Captain Marvel: Liberation Run Prose Novel by Tess Sharpe

5.0

I read this book with Luna. We usually read about 30-60 pages weekly. This book is definitely the kind of book that I could finished in one sitting or at least one weekend. This is the 6th marvel novel I read and is definitely in the top. When picking it up I wasn’t prepared for this book to be so incredibly well written or that the theme would be so mature.
I’m all for dark stories and women fighting back against a misogynistic society. However I would like to give anyone reading this a fair warning, it’s not a light read. It’s quite ‘draining’ at some parts, and even the first chapters that was mostly humorous got very real, real quickly. Sometimes I felt like I was reading an adult book aimed at adult women.
This book is packed with strong female character, and not just at a power level but with with strong personality. These women aren’t afraid to take their space in the narrative. But the writer didn’t feel like she needed to empower women by ‘taking away’ abilities or strong moments from men which is one of my biggest pet peeves.
This book definitely feel like a comic book novel and I mean it in the best way possible. I would love for Sharpe to write more novels for Marvel.

Also a side note: I’ve read a few comments saying it would be a good book if it wasn’t obvious it had a political agenda. Yes, I agree it has a political agenda. But Marvel Comics have always written political stories with political agendas.
