I never wanted to leave the Bronx, but a weird alien guy in a funny hat gave me a magic samurai armor and told me to save the world. Who could argue with that? I didn’t count on having to work with a bunch of misfits more likely to fight each other than an interdimensional dictator. But here I am.The four of us are supposed to work together, but we don’t even like each oth ...more

Apr 13, 2020 Noah Litle rated it it was amazing

I love this book! I just finished it for the second time. I'm sure I'll be reading it again. The sequel can't come soon enough. I was fortunate enough to be a beta reader for this book. I like it just as much or more now as I did then.

I know I don't usually go crazy about books (I like to call it "fangirling"). But this time, I find it hard not to. So I hope you'll excuse me if I "fangirl" for a moment.

- Superheroes.
- Samurai.
- Elementals.
- All ...more

I adored this book start to finish. The characters, the setting, the dialogue, the action, the FEELINGS. Easily made it to my faves list. I tend to be a sucker for found family anyway, but let me tell you, I would fight bears for these wonderful dumb boys.

In conclusion: Read this, you'll feel better. ...more

This is a fun and highly entertaining read. Each character is well developed and real. Ms. Williams fight scenes are excellent. I wish there were more of them.

The first half of the book starts out strong but then dwells a bit too long on the team's interpersonal relationships. I almost put it down which would have been a mistake in hindsight.

I'm torn on the multiple point of views. It was helpful spending time in each characters mind, but it also was a little hard to keep track of. I did appreci ...more

Shelves: 2020, found-family, superhero, elemental

Such a fun second installment in this series! It felt so much like watching a Saturday Morning Cartoon, but one of those with characters deeper than just their tropes. The normal tropes are all there, but Williams has a great way of digging deeper and getting beyond the trope-y outsides of her characters and into their deeper insecurities, fears, hopes, and desires.
I loved getting to know Ronnie better (made me want to reread the Meg Mitchell book, especially his parts) and seeing him and his te ...more
