Superdome was a heap of fun to read. Normally I don't go for books that have as many cast members as this one, but it manages to stay cohesive despite how many fronts of action are happening all at once.
The author really has a strong grasp of malleable morality, and the action scenes are just spot-on. It was my privilege to beta read for this novel and a few of the short stories that the author is going to be releasing later in the season, and I'm really looking forward to what comes out of this author's mind in the future.
My favourite characters would have to be Ellis and Impulse. I feel like I can identify a lot more with how they view the world, than anybody else.
I did notice some similarities to Michael Grant's "GONE" series, but they're only cosmetic, and not a ripoff of the premise of that series at all. What can I say? Domes are 'in.' Superpowers and dystopias are 'in.' I can't fault the author for jumping onto that bandwagon, since they do it really well.

A well-written scifi with intriguing characters, a cool/fun premise, and a twist ending. Looking forward to Book 2.

Not a bad take on super heroes and villains. I liked the society and premise the best. The writing and editing certainly needs work, and it could have been a bit better story-boarded, but it was enjoyable. If you like sci-fi and superheroes, this isn't a bad read.
