Desciption
Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. TJ Klune's YA debut, The Extraordinaries, is a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves.Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right?After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life).Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl meets Marissa Meyer's Renegades in TJ Klune's YA debut.
Review
Ngl, this reads like police propaganda masquerading as a work of literature, and I'm not here for it. One can only read so many pages of uncritical embrace of abuse of power before questions arise about authorial intent. I really hope Klune is just setting up the MC for a hard reality check in the next books. Otherwise, well... Yikes.That issue aside, I really just didn’t vibe with this book.
