Also, throws in a bit of finding yourself. Superheros as metaphor for gender, or Superheros as metaphor big corporations with no accountability. This is a book written for this generation. Its part revenge story, but its also part accountability. And while the cost of a world with stereotypical superheroes includes buildings being damaged, there is a real injury to those on the sideline. Of course, this is a book about with very generic superheroes and villains - think superman rather than batman. What does matter is that Anna know how people work and how to use that information to break people. Or that Anna is has superpowers, but its up to the reader to guess. For example, our leading heroine, Anna Tromedlov and her parents are estranged. Where I think the book shines (and I suspect that others may disagree with me), is the way the author handles backstories - things that don't matter. Smart characters, reasons for why things happen, plus it has the phrase "The Excel Pervert" to describe a character that is a genius with tables. And this book is near perfect for what it is. This was a book I didn't even know existed until it was suggested to me LibraryThing.
