I hope the next two books come out on Audible!

This series was recommended to me by the author's mother! I told her that I like SciFi and YA and she said I had to read her son's book. I did! It was immediately drawn in and didn't stop until I finished the second audio book. I may have to break down and buy the other two in book format if they don't come out soon on audiobook. I love a good series!

Entertaining

Slight spoiler

I liked this book a lot. It kept me awake during my shift. I liked the characters for the most part. And I like superheroes as well as competition.

My main problem with the story has to do with how fast things seem to move and then slow down abruptly only to practically skip through a few minutes later. I wouldn’t have minded more detail.

Another problem is the way the characters speak is all the same. They all sound the same as the narrator as far as the wording goes. These are kids from all over the world. However, they all say things in the same way. Whatever self esteem and confidence Tristan gains shouldn’t completely change how he thinks and speaks. Only how he acts. Also there’s a lot of time I spent thinking “who speaks like that?” Or “why even add that extra word to the sentence?”

My last problem is the sudden blow up at the end. Underdog main characters are fun because they can advance faster than their peers and end up being stronger. He was a weak kid who got bullied and was too scared to try anything. But to just suddenly end up being completely overpowered is honestly not too great storytelling. He just instantly knows what to do when he gets his powers. Not difficult at all taking out this group of assassins that are so scary, with his new found power.

Overall I’m sorry that this sounds so negative. I liked the book and the narrator is decent though I forgot this was about a kid from Florida a couple times. And there’s a lot of redundancy. I still listened all the way through and I plan on getting the second book.

All too easy in the end.

Okay, so to be perfectly honest...this book is basically Harry Potter for superheroes. I am a little bit disappointed that the author chose to take the easy way out at the very end. Despite the similarities between the world of Harry Potter and this book, I am jealous that the author thought of this premise before I did.

Why did the villains have to be so shallow in their introduction and so easily dispatched by someone who didn't even know how to use their powers? I think it's a little bit ridiculous to have so many young metamorphs unable to use their powers properly (and this was mentioned repeatedly throughout the book), yet the moment Tristan gets his powers, he's able to use them to the point of taking out an entire team of super villains. It's extremely far-fetched and ridiculous. Yes, the whole premise is ridiculous, but this ending was even more ridiculous. I feel like the author just gave up in the end and wanted to end it. -Kind of like writing a term paper and then having the conclusion rushed because your deadline was right there hanging over your head.

I'm hoping the second book will be better. I'm interested enough to keep going, obviously. I gave it a pretty high rating, but the one missing star is because of...well, what I just said.

Interesting take on superhero theme

I was a bit disappointed at the lack of depth and cursory attention paid to the black characters. I expected more from this author. Otherwise the story was entertaining. A good read for the school age and YA audience.
