(Spoilers.) I want to start by saying I’m not into superheroes much, and I’m a young adult. This book was targeted towards people like me. But this is awful. I bought it because it had an interesting premise, boy was I wrong. The main character is Mandy, and she is incredibly unlikable. From the beginning she starts off complaining about how she always in her mother’s shadow. And you know she has right to complain, but in all her life she has does nothing to deal with her problems. So as the story progresses she has a friend named Lincoln. He’s a shallow character, the friendship he has with Mandy is he doesn’t care that Mandy’s mom is a superhero. There’s not much all else on why they are friends. So, to sum the story quickly. Mandy is a “not like the other girls!” Type of girl. So the entire time she’s hostile to everyone, even her own mom who tries really hard to be a good mom to Mandy. She likes a popular girl, but she’s never had any relationship with her at all. So their love story takes up most of the book. Somehow Mandy’s crush who is named Claire starts to like Mandy after only a few days of talking. Later on Claire makes Mandy mad when she takes a picture with the famous superhero team and uploads it to social media. This causes Mandy to go mad. Then her evil aunt shows up to capture her and her mother, because apparently Mandy threatens her throne? So evil aunt is going to kill Mandy because she doesn’t want her to become next in line. Anyways Mandy’s mom who has been a superhero for many years fights evil aunt and loses. Then out of nowhere Mandy gets her powers, and SOMEHOW MANAGES TO DESTROY EVIL AUNT. Evil aunt was established to be a great conqueror who was insanely powerful. And this is proved when she beats Mandy’s mom. After Mandy gets her powers everything magically fixes. Her problem with being under her mom’s shadow? Fixed. Her relationship with her crush, Claire? Fixed. Everything gets conveniently fixed. In conclusion, this book sucks. Please do not buy. |
