My First Foray Into Superhero Books. As much as I've read scifi for literally decades, this is actually my first foray into the actual superhero fiction genre. Yes, I've read a few comic books in my day and am a big fan of most of the major franchises, but this was my very first superhero fiction novel. And y'all, I found it quite compelling - even as a 38 yo married male reading about two people closer to that Young Adult / New Adult category. While the Arrowverse inspirations for this project were quite clear in so *very* many areas, Chen still managed to create an intriguing and interesting story that could plausibly hold its own against any of those shows - and maybe even be better than some of them. This book definitely feels like a Book 1 for a potential new series, and this reader for one would be down for that. Very much recommended.
