 What an absolutely stellar book. I couldn't put it down. Everything from the characters to the narrative to the prose was so masterfully executed. This was a refreshing take on superheroes and what that means in our reality. It was a dark read and quite decadent at that. A sharp, concise story that had me hooked from the opening page and literally squealing during the climax of the story. This scratched an itch I didn't know I had. Loved it to pieces. Literally everything was in its place and the only thing I'd want to change is my memory of reading it so I can read it like the first time all over again.
