eloise_bradbooks 's review for:
Not Your Villain
by C.B. Lee
I love this story.
The idea is great. The world is fascinating. The superpowers are getting more and more interesting. The characters are so damn lovable.
I am so thankful for the amount of positive racial, gender, sexual and superpower diversity there is in one series without any of it feeling forced at all. It is incredible.
Now... it's a shame the quality of the structure and writing doesn't quite live up to the brilliance of the story. (I said this for the first book and my opinion on this is confirmed: this story, told in another format, would be AMAZING.)
For one, I'm not a fan of the third person present tense narrative... it just doesn't work for me.
But mostly, the pacing is all over the place. This is especially true for the first third of the book which takes place at the same time as book 1.
But also, the final 'big moment', although interesting, wasn't built up to enough, and left me feeling a little underwhelmed?
I do still continue to love and recommend this series to everyone! It warms my heart to the fullest and I cannot wait for book 3.
