Publisher's summary

The heroes are on vacation. Really. The wedding of Dane and Annabeth (Danabeth) is over, the team has caught their villain-of-the-month, and Hope thinks everyone deserves a break from the cycle of training and public-relations appearances. So except for Ozma and Grendel (who've decided to return to adventures in Oz) they're all enjoying the sand and the sun in Littleton, the safest secret community in the world.

But then Shell vanishes - her quantum-neural link with Hope and Shelly severed - and Ozma and Grendel return with ominous warnings that something is happening back in Chicago. As the Young Sentinels race to return home, the city is attacked by old and new foes and the fight does not go well. Heroes fall, and the survivors are faced with threats unlike any they have faced before. The Post-Event World is entering a new period of conflict, and Astra and the Sentinels must answer to their motto, Nos Preaestolor: We Stand Ready.

Fortunately, they don't stand alone.

Best yet

This is probably my favorite Wearing the Cape novel yet. Tons of action, lots at stake, plenty of personal introspection and character development. This book was fun, action packed, and gripping. Only a few things that felt out of character really stood out to me, but overall I really enjoyed this novel.

Astra is wholesome.

She is Catholic superhero who has to battle people in ways that test her faith. This book is barely religious or preachy but they remind ya from time to time that her faith in her religion gives her hope. So she is always the goody two shoes. This book seems like an ending for the series but there's much more story to come and I'M COMPLETELY ON BOARD! Awesome job all around!

Nobody Is Safe!

The pacing and tone of Repercussions is very different than Harmon’s previous novels. Everything occurs at warp speed with little time for the heroes to react and even less time for them to think. To add to the feeling of ever-growing frenzy, the point of view changes multiple times in most chapters and reflects a significantly larger number of character perspectives than we have been introduced to before. The civilized world is under attack and it is by no means clear if the Sentinels can save the day this time. Harmon has long flirted with post-apocalyptic settings—both in the visions of the Tea Time Anarchist and in the alternate realities of Team Ups and Crossovers. Within a very few chapters it becomes evident that this might just be the book that sees those dark ages introduced full time into the series. Starting in the United States and spreading outwards, the death count is higher than at any time since the first book in the series, and that number includes the heroes as well as the civilians. If you’ve grown to love the large cast of Wearing the Cape—brace yourself—everything is on the table this time and no one gets away unhurt.

So this book has everything you could desire in a superhero novel—tons of actions, great super powers, and a gritty plot worthy of our heroic cast. That being said, I do have a small complaint that I’ve found it a little difficult to articulate. I have read every book in this series at least twice and am listening to the audiobooks now. I feel like I know the action and the characters very well. Yet there were many times when Harmon made references that made me wonder if there was a short story out there that I had missed (and maybe there is) and the novel was just jammed packed with facts about supers in the rest of the planet—as if after finishing the guide books to his super hero roleplaying game, Harmon just couldn’t resist feeding us information a little bit artificially.

That being said, Astra experiences a lot of changes in this novel and I found the character development well thought out and credible. I’m anxious to see what Harmon has in store for her and her friends in the books to come.

Decent story, so-so performance

I would rate this title higher, but the narrator seriously needs to learn how to pronounce certain words like "cavalry" (which she invariably pronounces as "calvary" in this and other Wearing the Cape books).
