![]() The worldbuilding is so lush, and while I've seen some people say it's too info dumpy, I don't feel that way at all. It's incredibly addictive, and just lyrical enough for my taste. I encourage you to look up other reviews, particularly those of own voices reviewers, to see what they thought of it. Just a quick disclaimer though that I am not familiar with the Mahabharata at all, so my reading experience and review is not going to be able to reflect how good of a retelling this is. I think this book just has so many elements that I love - morally grey characters, complicated family dynamics, political intrigue, rich worldbuilding, and a healthy dose of action and violence to top it all off. It's been so long since I've felt like I couldn't put a book down, and this book was it. ![]() I devoured this 650+ page book in 4 days, which I think says a lot in and of itself. 05/19/22 reread: top tier fantasy, so underrated it hurts □ I completely forgot about the twist at the end and now I am extra excited to get to book 3 now that it's out!ĬW: ableism, incest, rape (mentioned), animal death, graphic violence & gore ![]() ![]() Andrews books and the books published with his name.

Hero is a good story will fully believable characters, and that’s what makes it work so well. And if you’re worried that a book with a specific agenda, even an agenda as awesome as this, will hit you over the head with it repeatedly, fear not. Basically, he wanted to write a superhero story in which a gay character was portrayed positively and was defined by more than their sexual orientation, and I think he definitely succeeded. You can read about it in more detail here. Perry Moore decided to write Hero because he didn’t like the way gay characters were treated in superhero comics. There’s also the fact that he’s gay, and hiding it is becoming harder and harder. You see, Thom’s superpowers are not his only secret.

Hero is about Thom Creed, a teenage superhero in training with a lot on his plate. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Writing felt like hard work-something that’s still true today.Īfter the songwriting came my first job in publishing.

I'm certain there's a link between reading good books and becoming a writer. I didn’t think about being a writer at all back then, but I did love to read.
