DID NOT FINISH: 25% 
DNF @ 25%.

It breaks my heart a little to DNF this book, because I truly loved The Extraordinaries. But where everything about the first book was fun and exciting, it feels a bit tired and overdone here. This may simply be a case of the wrong book for me in this moment. 

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC!
