Awesome sequel!
As usual it's a win for the author! In this book the world suddenly doesn't like Amelia. Politicians want a piece of her. Emotionally she is a wreck but it doesn't stop her from fighting the good fight! Luke is possessed, the government after her, other superhero teams hate her because of the media storms.
Will anything go right? You just have to buy this book and discover how it all get resolved!

Another great installment
The next installment in the Arsenal series deals with the fallout of Amelia blowing up a planet. However any critics of her blowing up a planet get treated as unreasonable idiots and I feel like the author missed a good chance for introspection.

It's unfortunate. Early on I really liked this series. But as I got to know the MCs personality more and more I just couldn't stand her. She is just selfish. Sure things turn out generally well and everyone who isn't an asshat in the setting loves her but its written that way and really if you pay attention the writer makes it very clear that every thing she does has a selfish reason behind it. Some folks may feel like that makes her easy to relate to but for me... I like certain types of archetypes. The truly and deeply tormented who are struggling to be better or those who are better and make a continue effort to remain that way. She is neither in my opinion..

Still good story, still bad editing
Looking forward to the next book as Mr. Haskell is quite good at the cliffhanger endings. He’s got a few continuity issues (biggest is in the first few books, Kate’s teleportation didn’t bother people but now does) but for 6 books, he’s done well with it.
Kinda like a comic, he tends to add supers to solve problems but it’s a trope for a reason and keeps the MC from being super OP.
Editing still a mess, mostly on the punctuation but with a helping of to, two, and too errors among others. Most of it is pretty easily parsed, but there are a few sentences I had to read a few times to makes sense of.

This is a series worth reading.
This is book 6 of 9. It continues to entertain without getting stale. Amelia sees new villains and old ones. Time travel is involved and handled VERY well.
It’s fun all around. She flies through space. She makes new suits for practical reasons. I really like the way the author goes at this character and this world. There’s a huge diversity with the characters’ backgrounds, abilities, and ethnicities. Through that, you see that people are just people, superpowers or not, and no one is perfect. And that actions have repercussions.
If you’re an Iron Man fan, this is your new favorite storyline. Enjoy and you’re welcome.
I highly recommend this series. I listened with whisper-sync through Kindle and the narration is really terrific. She reads this like it’s her own story. I’ve listened to them all and this is her best job yet.

Excitement non stop
It seems no matter what we just can't get a break as events unfold where even the country Arsenal protects may no longer believe she is saving people. With everything thats happening only the Protectors will carry on. Great series of twists on this one and wonderful how it all ties in as well as i was kept glued to each page.

One of the better superhero series out there
Most of the show series I've read all have something in common.
Test this series is similar in the sense that its in a world of heros, but its different in where the MC doesn't have powers or isn't related to the big named hero its world. Which is good imo

Good narrative flow (and no real cliffhanger ending), are highlights of this book.
But time travel is seldom a good sign in a superhero book, and the plot here is more confusing than in some previous books in this series.
This isn't bad, and there is real progress toward a series resolution, but this book is just OK.

Series turning into a badly written telenovela
Will this ever end? Storyline keeps repeating itself it gets predictable and pathetic already. Ot needs to end yesterday! Boring the last 2 bookß

Arsenal Rules
This series is good to read. Great characters and a nice weaving of storylines. Can just see how she has made a mess for herself into the next book. Can not wait. Seriously when’s the next one coming out.

I started off loving this series but with each new novel it sort of diminished. Nothing big or obvious just some small issues that personally I don't like. Feels too muddled in a way. I'll probably check the next one as I'm too invested now to not want to satisfy my curiosity.

Very action filled part of the series! You always have to love time travel in SciFi books. I am loving the suit upgrades and the plans for the future. Now excuse me while I read the next book in the series.

Only 4
Four stars because of the grammar mistakes and misspellings. Also , cliff hanger endings are getting old. Good basic story with a few twists. Reading book 7 next , then deciding whether or not to continue .

Another great adventure story, with a fun new challenge (that I can't say without giving a spoiler). And the ending of this was NOT what I expected. He keeps growing the characters and the story. Definitely not "just another adventure" for the same characters.

Excellent as usual
The only thing I can find wrong is that the story ended too soon. Can't wait for more from the past.

And the beat(ings) go on
Not sure how much more of this there is; honestly I’m afraid to look! Great read, again tons of action and superhero goodness.

Great read
Excellent book. I love how we go from one awesome adventure to the next and the character development is always superb. I am excited for the next book.

Feels like a bridge book (audiobook) before big arcs.

Amelia at her most heartfelt and human.

DNF. 66%
I found I had to force myself to keep reading. There seemed to be no major story arc. Rather than working toward something, we get to see Amelia jumping in every direction, reacting to the big bad... about whom we know nothing. The pay-off may justify the wait, but I ran out of patience.
