If my relationship with this book was a Facebook status, it would be "it's complicated". 
 It was enjoyable, no doubt and featured some nice tributes to traditional comic archetypes... but it never really did anything original with them. Though I did connect with Celia as a narrator and I did empathize with her internal conflict--the need to carve out your own place in the world. That resonates strongly with me. 
 But the main villainous plot got a little too ridiculous for me. Which is saying something, because hey, superhero book, my suspension of disbelief goes a long way. But yeah. It just never really had the impact I think it was supposed to. 
 And the later part of the book got really heavy handed and bogged down with daddy-issues. I don't know, it was sort of frustrating to see it all wind down like that. It was disappointing.
