Holy crap what a book. I had heard good things about Hench, but I was definitely unprepared for what I just read. I’m blown away - this story is so goooood.
The premise is fantastic - a superhero tale from the POV of a villain’s henchwoman. The story isn’t black and white; the human psyche is far more complex than what is seen in a typical comic book and Walschots’ delves deep into it. It’s brutally honest and gets a lot darker than I had expected it to.
And that ending - it is crying for a sequel. Someone please tell me a second book is coming!
