Who wants to be a superhero?
Hope did, but she grew out of it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing, just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago, more than a little ironic. And now she has some decisions to make. Given the code-name "Astra" and invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago's premier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become a career superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers (super-strength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with her life-plan?
In a world where superheroes join unions and have agents, and the strongest and most photogenic ones become literal supercelebrities, the temptation to become a cape is strong. But the price can be high-especially if you're "outed" and lose the shield of your secret identity. Becoming a sidekick puts the decision off for awhile, but Hope's life is further complicated when The Teatime Anarchist, the supervillain responsible for the Ashland Bombing, takes an interest in her. Apparently as Astra, Hope is supposed to save the world. Or at least a significant part of it.

Ingen uppläsare jag kan rekommendera eller vill lyssna på mer alls. Höra henne snyfta och typ gråta när hon läser... Nej tack. Kändes bara så konstigt.Om boken.... Författaren är en man, framgår tydligt med hur han tror att tjejer tänker och agerar. Och en hjälte hämtar kraft från Tantra Sex......?? Asså..... 🙄🙄För mycket beskrivningar om saker runt om handlingen,lagar,politik,historia osv. Som gör att handlingen går otroligt långsamt. Sista typ timmen kändes väl lite mer okej. Men var nästa på att avsluta boken mitt i flera gånger. Kommer inte fortsätta läsa mer av denna författaren eller uppläsare. Finns betydligt bättre böcker om hjältar och supermänniskor.
