I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This started out as an interesting urban fantasy with the potential for comicbook quality in terms of an interesting premise for a superhero story and the flashiness and action that comes with it. Unfortunately, while the story is quite action-packed and spectacular in its displays of magic, there never seemed to be a real hook to the story both in terms of plot and characters. The characters are very one-dimensional and emotionless, and the plot, while having a general direction, was unevenly paced with some portions feeling more like afterthoughts than intentional parts of the story. Since this is set in modern times, there are a lot of pop culture references which didn't quite land for me and sometimes felt a bit cringey. 

I thought this was conceptually strong and could have done great as a graphic novel, video game, or even animated series, especially given the very episodic structure of the story, but this book overall fell flat for me. It kept me mildly entertained all throughout, but never invested enough to find out what happens next. I still think it has a fantastic cover though.
