Shades of Gray by Jackie Kessler, Caitlin Kittredge
4.0
So good! After finishing Black and White, I couldn't wait to read this, and I actually liked this one better!
The story was so interesting, and with the new information about the Icarus project and Martin Moore, it keeps you glued to the pages, trying to figure out the mystery for yourself. I also love the flashbacks to Jet and Iridium's parents, and their time as heroes, too. To me, it's so cool and unexpected that the way these stories are written is in a way that, the further you get into the present and future, the farther you go back into the past, and it makes for some great storytelling.
The action sequences were great, as were the little nods to other superhero comics and films. (Was that shade thrown at the Avengers in the end?!)
And, like the title, I love how everything in this story is truly in a shade of gray, and it isn't black and white, like we were thought to believe. Just take a look at Jet and Iridium's parents! Bet you didn't see that coming.
So four stars to this, and I hope they're working on a third!
