Flash Fire

Soooo good!! This is much better than the first book, now that the story has been set up and we know about Seth, everything really felt like it was getting properly started. I really like Extraordinaries and it's really cool to see more, like Miss Conduct. Of course, being an extraordinary is an obvious allegory for being queer; the whole ‘Save Our Children' initiative as well as stuff people were saying about Seth after he came out as extraordinary reminded me very much of the current situation regarding trans people. (Would be really cool to see a trans Extraordinary!!) It's so cool that there's someone putting queerness into the superhero genre, as it really needs it!

(Oooh also how is Jenny Bell alive!??! wpah and Owen escaped?!?!? I am so excited for the next book!)
