5.0

This book is hilarious and horrifyingly gory, often at the same time. The characters and worldbuilding are amazing, and I really loved how much personality even the smaller side characters have. But a big, serious warning for body horror, especially in the final chapter. Still, an excellent book about the costs of superheroics and what temp workers can do about it.
