Sexuality is considered fluid and not really a big deal which I also like. So romance is front and center while the super hero and sci-fi aspects are secondary. The book really focuses on Ava's relationship with Gwen, an A-list actress, both as Gwen's competent but bumbling personal assistant and as her secret identity, Swiftwing. She's a mix of insecurity and lack of confidence while also having strength and integrity. I can't say I've read this combination before and I liked it.Īva, our lead and the super hero in the story is endearing. The book is an odd mix of sorts: Super hero story, romance, Hollywood, fake relationship, ice queen, age gap, boss/employee, aliens, and something akin to King Kong. That said, I also felt there were elements holding it back from being really great. My impression was that I was left with a lot of affection for the book and primarily the character of Ava. This story has a lot going for it and I was compelled to finish.
