The Vindico by Wesley King
2.0
I am not ashamed to admit that I will forever hold a special place in my heart for superhero novels. So when I saw this book in the library, I was excited to get back to the good old days when I deeply enjoyed books like these.
But I was disappointed. This book is suited for people my age, but I felt really detached from the story line. While the 5 characters were all unique, I had a hard time differentiating the bad guys.
The villains (The 'Vindico') are a secret organisation, that hold a high antagonism for the superheroes (the League).
But the author left out the classic characteristics of a villain, and further reader this novel, the villains didn't seem so bad. The author also added in particular scenes which I thought were very irrelevant to the story, and had completely unrealistic reactions from the 5 kids.
From this book, I'm not so keen on reading the rest of the series.
