I had high hopes for this one but actually found it rather tedious, mainly because of the FMC. I respect that her anxiety was meant to make her sympathetic but it just felt annoying as it seemed to jump into the scene whenever it was appropriate for her and not when it would likely happen i.e. when she’s in danger which she hurriedly throws herself into. I thought it would be a lot funnier than I found it considering it is satire but it was a little confusing at the start rather than immersive which i didn’t really enjoy. 

Main points:
- Jenna wasn’t very likeable to me
- Blaze was flat/2 dimensional
- Diversity was a little weak
- World was confusing
- Lack of romance

The fact that Jenna was constantly getting herself into danger and then being saved didn’t feel satirical in the way I assume it was meant to but instead felt forced and unrealistic. I felt like this because the world itself wasn’t set up very well for me to understand (or at times care) why these disasters kept happening and why Jenna was always in the middle of them. Yes, we only see them from her point of view because of the story but it just started to feel silly.

What really didn’t sit well was that Blaze was really sweet and hot from the time he appeared, and Jenna immediately hated him and I wasn’t sure why. I thought we were then going to get an enemies to lovers deal but it never really took off the way it was meant to. Blaze had ultimately done nothing wrong for Jenna to hate him initially and even less for her to love him later on. Her hate for him just felt forced as well as her attraction and apparent love for him. Why did he float whenever he was happy? Obvious reasons but it was just never fully addressed. Where he was so blind to the villains later on in the book just made him seem naïve and stupid rather than endearing, not at all what I would have wanted or expected from the hot super man type that he was made out to be.

While the worldbuilding didn’t really make sense to me in the sense of where they lived, what time, space, alternate universe it was, I didn’t really get the misogynist element. It had the capability to be really dark and sinister but instead just felt like a poor caricature of the world as we know it. Okay, this man only wants men to have powers, so what?! I needed there to be some deeper more sinister reason for this that never really came and it was really annoying. The sister being a little feminist was cool and everything but also you going to make yourself sick for the sake of not letting them win!? Oh okay. Get a clue mate and do what you need so people don’t lose their lives.

It was just silly and not in a fun way that I enjoy. It was just silly and not amusing or entertaining. What was with the different text to show shouting or internal thoughts or whatever. Ridiculous and did nothing for the text itself. Just use punctuation like everyone else.

Disappointing to say the least.
