"I had no idea your kind had advanced to the point of using energized abstract macroconstructs in combat. Who expects microbes to go nuclear? That was when I knew the time for stealth head past."
Now read that again 🤯 It's a perfect description of this story and this world - worlds? - and I've given up resisting it and now I am so here for it!

There is something about people actually being their boroughs defending New York, that takes superhero to a whole new level. I have no idea what to expect or where this is going or how it'll end but I am soo here for it.

I am so baffled and intrigued by this book so far. He's Manhattan and she's Queens? As in the boroughs?! I can't decide if I'm into the whole hero- saving-my-city trope or if I'm put off by New York being under attack by a monster with tendrils. From another New York dimension!
