Let's see... First of all, congratulations to the author for having the book published. That's not an easy task to achieve, and I've heard lots of this book.
Now that being said, I have to start saying that I love the idea of the story... the X-Men mutant thing bait definitely worked, BUT I think that for a book so short, the story never really developed and didn't really go anywhere. Half of the book is endless training sequences, and the other half is divided between the father-son relationship the characters have and how the war is being manipulated by both sides of it, when the plot started to thicken... it ended. The lack of other characters and how some of them are just passing shadows took a lot from the story since we're always seeing the same three or four characters interact it eventually gets tiresome. While I understand this is the first book, and it was somehow setting the plot, it was never really set completely for the reader, and in the end, it made more questions than it answered. Something that is being showcased a lot during the story is how the protagonist is this all-mighty underdog yet we never get to really see the extent of his power just little glimpses here and there WE NEED MORE MUTANT "MAGIC" (LOL) The ending was fine... but I also saw it coming since page one.
I am looking forward to the next one, I KNOW Alberto will shut us up the middlegrounders.
Keep it up! Use the criticism in the reviews as a weapon, as a motivation, not as an injury, not as a failure 😉 see you in the next one.
