What I Didn’t Like:

The “oh no he’s so cute” stuff is a bit annoying, although not excessive.
The voice feels awkward and fake, more like an adult trying to write like a teenager than an actual teenager.
I didn’t love our MC. I think it worked out overall, since there were characters I did like, but that’s worth noting.

Great concept. If superheroes existed it seems reasonable to assume any government is going to want/need to control those powers.
Believable brainwashed by the system character. When she told the story of the party and the people who would lose their homes if her parents and their favorite cause won, I knew this was brilliant.
Not looking ahead to what this story was about means I got to be surprised when it turned out different than I imagined. I love to be surprised so that was great!

Anyone intrigued by the idea of a space dystopian book surrounding a prison for superheroes. I mean, that grabs your attention right there!
