About book After The Golden Age (2011)

Celia West is the daughter of Warren and Suzanne West aka Captain Olympus and Spark. She knows that growing up as the only non-powered daughter of superhero parents is not easy. Their arch-enemy is on trail when a new threat breaks out. Celia finds love no where she expected it.A good novel with plenty of super heroics and soap opera romance. Highly recommended for fans of comic books and romance. The ending is a little sad with a big twist.Overall, I give After the Golden Age an A+. I wasn't so impressed with this one, which surprised me, because I really liked the sequel. Yes, I read them out of order (by mistake), so I especially expected to like the first one better, because it sets up the story for what follows. But...not so much. Maybe I've been corrupted by reading so much teen fiction, but I liked the protagonist (a teenager) in the second book better--the narrative was more convincing, and more straightforward. I was also disappointed by this book because it was the set-up for the "series" (if indeed there will be more), but the story of the villain with whom Celia was involved was told in disjointed flashbacks, and you never got a really good sense of who he was or why he was doing what he was doing--he was almost more a device than a person. I also found Celia annoying, and her parents one-dimensional. I know, I know, they're superheroes, they're not supposed to be fully fleshed out individuals--but isn't that how this book is supposed to differ from the superhero comic books? it's supposed to be an in-depth story? Disappointing.

Bit of a sappy ending, but funny and page-turn-y all the way through.
