A superhero's, not to mention a superhero's boyfriend's, work is never done. Secrets are revealed as Nick learns more about the world around him. As in the first book some characters seem to be there to tick certain boxes and to express views rather than to do anything. These flaws are more obvious in this book while Nick's endearing traits are less in focus. However, the overall story is good with a post-credit twist that I can't wait to see explored in the last volume of the trilogy. Satisfying follow-up to the first book in the series. Nick and Seth are trying to figure out how to date each other, Jazz is worring about Gibby's post-graduation plans, and all of their parental figures want to know their kids are doing. Meanwhile, public opinion about Extraordinaries is souring while new ones appear. From almost the first page, TJ Klune addresses the critics of the first book. As the son of a cop, Nick has always seen cops as heroes. He (and other characters) reconsider that assumption a lot over the course of the novel. Yay libraries! Unlike many a story I've read, this one accelerates after the first third, instead of in the last third, so plan accordingly. I read 2/3 of this just today, because I couldn't wait to find out what happens. Klune is very good at making us care about his characters, and then he throws all kinds of terrible and silly stuff at them. Thoughtful stuff. Important stuff. Sometimes LOL stuff. The core of loyalty and doing what's right, or trying to, resonates with me. I wish book 3 was out. But oh, I love where this one ends. I hate to give a Klune book "only" three stars, but I'm not gonna be one of the people inflating the ratings just because it's a book from my favorite author. Maybe it's because this is YA that I didn't really love this, but it's also more than that. The plot got buried under all the social commentary (more like blasting) and there was an over abundance of monologues and speeches. I did love the humor though, as I usually do with Klune, but the rest of it just didn't rise to the occasion. I'm not gonna lie, I'll read everything this author publishes, but I'm just going to adjust my expectations in the future when it comes to his YA releases. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Through bravery, charm, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams. Now instead of just writing stories about him, Nick actually gets to kiss him. On the mouth. A lot. But having a superhero boyfriend isn't everything Nick thought it would be--he's still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers. When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City--siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had--it's up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. And new Extraordinaries aren't the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic. Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames?

Normally, I save 1 stars for utter trash, but I made an exception in this case.
TJ should have stuck to what he wrote and maybe stated people deserve second chances, esp since we weren't given all of Aaron's or Cap's service record. Just one blip and omg you are so evil.
I don't care to be preached to when I am reading. Reading is supposed to be an escape from all the crazy that is around us. At least in my opinion.
Nick needs to get over his self. The others need to quit enabling him, so annoying. ( )
