Does anyone else love reading about people with superpowers? Ever since I watched the X-Men cartoons, I’ve always loved them. I spend a stupid amount of time figuring out which power combo would be best for me to have, and thinking about what I would do if I could, say, teleport. So I seek out all the books and movies that I can that feature superpowers. Lucky for me, superheroes are HUGE right now.
I Would Recommend
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Red Queen was a recent read for mine, and I was thoroughly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It’s not literary masterpiece, but it was addictive and thrilling. Plus, there were superpowers! In this world, the citizens are split up into Silvers and Reds. Silvers are the upper class, with silver blood running through their veins and special abilities that make controlling the working class Reds easy as pie. The Red main character rises up to fight for her people against the Silvers’ oppression.
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
And I had to put the sequel on here too, because it was just as awesome as the first book. Again, it’s not flawless, and it’s not going to win any significant awards, but I loved it because I love the characters and the powers and the action-packed plot.
Zeroes by Scott Westerfeld
In the Zeroes world, there is a small group of people with special powers. In the beginning, they’re broken up and have a whole lot of history together, but they slow start to come together as their lives once again intertwine. The powers in this book were all very interesting, as most of them had a bit of a twist on “normal” superpowers.
