I listened to the audio book for this and at first I thought I was going to hate it--I really couldn't stand a lot of the characters-- but it ended up really growing on me! This book doesn't have a lot of hype but if you like the modern day superhero origin story I think this book is really great. The super powers in this book are really unique and it was fascinating to learn how each different one worked--that was definitely my favorite aspect of the book. I thought this book was original and it took me by suprise a couple of times. One thing I will say about the audio book is that I wish they would have cast different voice actors for each point of view, but the person reading did a pretty good job of doing different voices. I might continue on with the series but I'm not sure. I enjoyed reading this but it ended nicely for me and I don't feel that pressured to pick up the next one any time soon.
