No More Heroes by Michelle Kan

Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this in exchange for a honest review.
I finished NO MORE HEROES a few days ago and have been considering what I wanted to say about it for a while. I think your enjoyment of the story will depend heavily on expectations. NO MORE HEROES is amazing when you think of it as an action flick: it has great pacing, the actions scenes are stellar and easy to follow, and the superhero powers are *cool*. I WANT CLARE'S OKAY. I want it a lot.
I often wished we'd spent more time... getting to know everyone? It feels like I'm told of how they are, yet with the exception of Fang, I would be hard-pressed to describe it in depth with supportive evidence. And I like them all! It's kind of like receiving really tasty morcels and not the entire meal.
In many ways this my main opinion of NO MORE HEROES. It's super fun, it has a lot of qualities, and it's worth your time. Yet I cannot help but feel it could have been *so much more*. And I mean this in the most passionate way--I loved what this book offered, but you cannot take the dev editor entirely out of me, and I know there is untapped potential there, just within reach.
Which is also to say, I will for sure be eagerly awaiting for more books by Michelle Kan. :)
