The Superhero's Summit

The Superhero's Son #3

by Lucas Flint

As the new leader of the most famous young superhero team in the country, Kevin Jason has lots of new responsibilities, ranging from fighting criminals and supervillains to encouraging his teammates whenever they doubt themselves. But Kevin is most looking forward to the annual Neohero Summit at the end of the month, where leaders from the two largest superhero organizations—the Neohero Alliance and the Independent Neoheroes for Justice—in the country will meet to discuss forming a new alliance between them. Tensions rise, however, when Kevin and one of his teammates are nearly killed by someone who appears to work for the Independent Neoheroes for Justice, the rival superhero organization. And when Kevin discovers evidence that someone is manipulating both organizations into going to war against each other, a conflict that would destroy not just the superhero community, but the country as well. Now Kevin must uncover the identity of the real villain before the Summit. If he fails, then the superhero community will be engulfed in a war that will destroy not just the country, but the whole world.

Book was disappointing to say the least. It could have been better. The character development was mediocre. Way too many characters were introduced. And the team didn't play a huge role in the story.
But the villain was unexpected, so I can forgive the poor character development.

Considering the main character said he read a lot of history of neoheroes as a child in the first book and professed to be a huge fan of them it is amazing how little he actually knows. I continue to struggle with the intelligence of the main character but obviously I have read 3 of these books. So they are written well enough for me to keep reading them. I just beg that Lucas Flint makes his character a little more aware of the world he lives in.


Spoiler,

I liked that the main villain behind the issues in this book was a character from the previous book. People get killed a lot in this world, wow

Series continue with Bolt leading a young hero team. We get better world understanding of different superhero teams, history of their split and invasions.

Climax kinda predictable. Other than that book is fast paced as first 2.

Really looking forward for what happens next and I like the way story is developing between Bolt-Blizzard. 😉

While I've enjoyed the others in this series, this was by far the worst. Plot was okay but the writing was fairly bad; repetitive like a beginner.

Great read

It was an exciting third work. Things are progressing a basin day I can see that it’s going to get any more intense.

More Bolt, more adventures, more young, naive, super kid. I liked him in general, but sometimes when I read him I still believe that he is very immature for his age and level of responsibility. He is put into situations that are too big for him, and even if he ends up doing a good job, it sometimes seems to be more out of luck than out of ability.

In this book he is the leader of a new team, and he is having trouble with them. No matter how strong he is, it doesn't seem like he is that great of a leader. When problems between the two heroes associations start, he is in the middle, as always, and is up to him to solve the problems, which he does, with his father's help of course.

When one of his teammates is having trouble with her powers, his answer is to help her by training more, and I don't get why he didn't use the same technique his father used on him when first training, why not pass his knowledge to her?

It's hard to believe how easily he got out of trouble after getting into the new heroes base and destroying part of the property, I would have expected more problems.

At the end is his father who ends up saving the day again, by recording and showing all the heroes, Master Chaos's wife confession about how she tried to put both groups of heroes against each other.

It surprised me how easily everything was resolved, and how little conflict it really caused.

SOOOOO PAIIINFUL!
While I understand that writing in the first person narrative should also reflect the age and (dare I hint) intelligence of the protagonist, but after 2 1/2 books of this drivel I'm about to throw up.

The author is either very good in placing himself in the role of a teenager, along with the utter naivety and ignorance and lack of writing style and vocabulary that comes with it, or he is a youngster himself, barely able to form intelligent sentences, not to mention write a good book.
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Flint is more than capable of filling pages after pages with useless babble as so many other writers do nowadays. After all, they are getting paid by the word-count, but obviously not for their ability to write.

The only thing good about the story line is the general idea behind the main role of a young superhero and a fairly original approach to the subject itself, which is also the only reason for the 1 star rating. Beyond that I can not recommend this series to anyone who has more than a basic level of education and prides him- or herself in formulating coherent sentences.

Sorry, but there a lot of 14-year old youngsters out there who have a far superior writing style and choice of wording than anything used in these books so far. How the publisher ever decided to print and/or release any of this gibberish is beyond me.
