Guest book review by Rachel Quaill
A tale of foreboding and intrigue that will drive the reader to keep turning the pages
The group of five lifelong friends is a tale of foreboding and intrigue that will drive the reader to keep turning the pages. Each chapter began with a small excerpt that gave insight into what was to come in a way that entices the reader to want to know more. Each character in the book played their own integral part that added to the collaborative dynamic of all of the boys' stories. Each friend added their own backstory that gave the reader an idea of why they were chosen to become these super heroes for the community.
Each boys’ story and character added to the overall hyper masculine and action packed smack downs that occurred in almost every other chapter. It helped soften their overall character in a way, making them more relatable and human. I would have liked the characters to have had the opportunity to develop a bit further in the story, but I have no doubt that they will be given that chance in future books that get written about these very interesting and exciting characters.
