Wearing the Cape

review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. This was an interesting spin on the superhero genre. I have no idea why I thought this was a children's book, because it's not. The only thing I hated, but I totally understand, (SPOILER) is that Atlas dies. I get it, I really do, but my girly, romance loving heart wanted him & Astra to have a happily ever after. I cried. Not gonna lie. Great book, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
review 2: An average read with somewhat interesting characters. Hope is a young woman who is a "breakthrough" - someone who receives their powers after "the event" that gave most other people theirs. She is recruited to join the top superhero team in the state, The Sentinals, as a sidekick while she decides what she wants to do... more with her powers. The pacing of the story was pretty good. There was lots of action and we learned a lot about the world that Hope found herself in. However I felt like there was a bit much telling and not enough showing, and we didn't really see enough of what Hope was feeling about her situation in my opinion. Hope seemed pretty generic. I found several other characters more interesting and wished the story was focusing on them instead! Some of Hope's relationships felt rushed, especially the romantic one. I understand that certain events were supposed to help Hope make her decision in the end, but I would have liked to see the relationship stretched out over a couple of books, to have seen some growth from the characters before the talk of marriage came up. I did feel at times that the religious side of Hope was forced upon me as a reader. Hope's symbol was similar to the Star of Bethlehem, her conversations with her priest, her catholic ideals etc I felt like some of it wasn't really necessary to the story. But that said, it was minimal and the story was good regardless.All in all I felt Wearing the Cape was a great start to a series. less
