Superworld 3: An Alternate Reality Fantasy
After saving the world, a reluctant young hero finds himself targeted for not having powers, in the third book of this action-packed superhero series.
The Black Death is dead. After hiding in plain sight for more than a decade under the guise of Captain Dawn, the most powerful empathic mimic who ever lived stepped out from the shadows once more to unleash terror and destruction upon the world. But in his moment of apparent triumph, when all hope seemed lost, the Black Death was defeated by Matt Callaghan and Jane Walker, now known to everyone as Matt the Human and Lady Dawn.
Following their victory, Matt and Jane have become the ultimate celebrity couple. But with fame and fans come enemies. The US government wants to use a sample of Matt’s powerless DNA to discover a way to strip people of their powers. But there are those who’d rather see Matt dead before that happens. Meanwhile, Jane and the other young superheroes of Morningstar Academy have taken up the mantle of the legendary Legion of Heroes, but the world isn’t black and white—and it’s not always clear how to help or who needs saving.
Cults and governments, superheroes and killers; all have plans for Matt, who’s now stuck at home under permanent, smothering protection. And all are afraid of Jane, out there changing the world with her phenomenal powers. Though power alone may not be enough . . .
In the shadows, unseen forces lurk. And when the reality-hopping Time Child returns with a dire warning, Jane will have to choose between protecting humanity and saving the man she loves.
The third volume of the hit alternate-history series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

DNF 90%.
I tried I genuinely did. Benjamin Keyworth's first two installations in this series were so good! but my suspicions on where the story was heading came to fruition and I simply have no more desire to read this. Pointless, tedious arguments, meandering delusional arcs. towards the end of this book a certain character started to become like Daenerys T from S8. this book felt like a meandering fever dream of a story.
also why did the author consistently describe African characters as obsidian skin
2.5*

Well that was borderline boring
It was difficult finishing this book. I found whole sections of the book downright boring, to the point in which I skipped whole sections, specifically all the interludes and none Jane/Matt sections. This was a hodge lodge of thoughts and ideas the author had for these characters and he just threw them all out there and sprinkled in some lines to try to tie all of it into a nice pretty package. It didn't work. I nearly stopped reading and walked away from it, but stuck it out since there's only one more book in the series.

INCREDIBLE!
Once again Keyworth delivers a heartfelt narrative of heroics, mystery, and intrigue. One thing I took note of during this installment is the level of growth and unexpected humanity a lot of tertiary characters displayed. To say nothing of the main cohort, I really enjoyed that Keyworth left a lot of room for these characters to really explore what their ideals are even amidst an ever advancing compelling arc. I am dying for book four already.

The whole book feels like filler nothing much happens and the time travel makes all stakes non existent. One person is super man level invulnerable and can time travel. the other is squishy and can be rescued via time travel.
