Samuel Fleming is a Science Fiction and Fantasy author. He grew up in Maryland, spending most of his time swimming and writing. The thing about swimming is that it gives you a lot of time to daydream, so the two hobbies complemented each other well. Idle dray dreams turned into stories, some of which stuck with him for years. These days he swims a little less and writes a lot more. He loves a good story no matter the medium: Books, TV, video games, comics, tabletop RPG’s, or podcasts–most of which he attempts to share with his wife and three kids, and occasionally on his blog.
The writing, and more importantly the editing, are still subpar for a published novel series. That said, the characters are engaging, the world building is intriguing, and the super powered punchups are entertaining. So I'm in for book 3, with the hope that the author continues to hone their craft. The only way to improve is to keep writing, and you may as well sell some books while you're at it.
4.5 Star book, -.5 due to awful chapter headers that bind you at night
Books not bad. But every chapter title is this massive white graphic that is absolutely blinding if you're taking in the evening. It's so dumb and unnecessary that I have to knock off at least half a star for the damage to my retinas.
I really enjoyed this sequal and I'm looking forward to seeing how Emmett progresses. I still don't like how the story keeps diverting to the truck side story, it seems a bit pointless. Overall definitely a good read
I think the second book is actually better than the first book. Mod actually matures and becomes a much better super hero. Cannot wait for the next book.
