My thoughts on The Antagonists: Book One by Burgandi Rakoska
I'm going to come right out and say that I did not like the writing style of this book. However, the story itself was absolutely amazing. So amazing, in fact that it made me forget my annoyance with the writing style. There are few books that have that effect on me.
First of all, there is the fact that the superheroes are secretly villains. we've seen a little bit of this before, but I, for one, have never heard a story where the proclaimed "superheroes" are actually working their own agenda and are really vile (not including politicians).
The back-and-forth between Victor and Minnie was great. In an age where people tend to love the bad guy, having a "villain" who actually IS worthy of being loved is refreshing. The part I liked the most was near the beginning. Minnie and Victor both want to break into a hospital to steal an envelope. At this point they are enemies, but they decide to team up to get the envelope.
I will say one thing about the writing style. At times it seems like it's written for 4th-6th grade, and at other times it seems like it's written for high school. That is the only thing that annoyed me.
I don't have much else to say about this book. It's a great story and I can't wait to read book two.
4/5 stars, would recommend to anyone who likes magic, superheroes, and underdog stories.
