People have been comparing this to Powerless, and I can definitely see the resemblance. I will say this one felt like it was written better. It had such a strong start, but kind of fizzled out the longer it went on.
The plot twist? Way too predictable. There were a few things I didn’t see coming, but nothing that really shocked me. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it—it just left me feeling a little meh.
That said, the cliffhanger was solid, and I’m definitely curious enough to pick up the next one and see where it goes.
