Orphaned at a young age, Faith Herbert - a psionically gifted "psiot" discovered by the Harbinger Foundation - has always aspired to greatness. But now this once ordinary teenager is taking control of her destiny and becoming the hard-hitting hero she's always known she can be - complete with a mild-mannered secret identity, unsuspecting colleagues, and a day job as a reporter that routinely throws into her harms way! Well, at least she thought it would. When she's not typing up listicles about cat videos, Faith makes a secret transformation to patrol the night as the City of Angels' own leading superhero - the sky-soaring Zephyr! But flying solo is going to be tougher than she ever thought when Zephyr uncovers a deep-rooted alien conspiracy. Two-bit burglars and car thieves are one thing, but when the world needs a hero to stave off an full-blown extraterrestrial invasion, will Faith find herself in over her head or ready for her biggest challenge yet?

I'm not a huge fan of superheroes. Not because I dont like them, but because no matter their stories and background, they are all the same. It's like a kind of cliché the way superheroes must look and that got me tired. So, of course when I saw the cover of this book, I thought I was allucinating -no kidding, I really couldn't not believe my eyes!- so inmediately I read the description and it was enough. I had to read it.
And what a wise decision I made!
This is amazing in all the extension of the world. I loved Faith as Summer and Zephyr. Such a wonderful and complex character that made me admire her. She's confident and has her feet on the ground although she can fly.
The story was also interesting. I can't wait to figure out what is going to happen next, so I'm going to follow this series until the very end.
Even when I only have read the first 2 episodes, I'm quite sure the following story will be as great as the first two. In conclussion, I can only say that I have a new favorite superhero, and man, she rocks!
I recieved a copy through Netgalley but this fact didn't influence the review.
A plus-size super heroine is pretty damn unusual and far more relatable when her citizen persona is awkward and invisible like most of us. I'm not thrilled to be left hanging with a partial galley but I suppose this means I have to look out for the actual thing now.
Great classic sci-fi references. (She said, “Smeghead!!!) Pretty entertaining story too.
