The premise of the book intrigued me. I was ready to throw out critical thinking because I love stories involving people with a lot of (fantastical) power struggling with their morality and the perception of others.

And then bits and pieces of this story started falling off. The way the main character begins speaking in stilted, perfect grammar after gaining his powers, as if to show how intelligent he is.

Then there's a pretty barebones argument on the philosophy of killing an abusive person or jailing them, as if those are the only two options.

Then there's Brutalize Your Gays (with some misogyny), followed by Islamophobia, followed by Police Brutality Against a PoC. All of it is portrayed as if the author wants brownie points for touching upon these topics while handling them so horribly.

As a black person in the LGBTQ+ community, I think it's pretty reasonable that I stopped taking this book seriously at the police brutality chapter, then dropped it.
