The Ascension: A Super Human Clash (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Great second book in the series. I am super annoyed by Max, and I wish someone would be able to stop him from controlling everyone's minds. Other than that, I thought it was good. It was a little frustrating that it ends basically the same time as the first book, but that's OK. I was annoyed that Abby's big "secret" is obviously that she is gay - isn't that a little stereotypical? I mean, she is physically strong, so she must be a lesbian! Lame. Another good actioney book. It has the same problems as the first, eg. Stupid decisions moving on the plot. And added into the mix is a theme that seems to be getting pretty common these days: jerk characters that are so unlikable that they distract you from the story. Really don't get that. The bad aside, this is still a ton of fun to read. The author is extremely creative with the superpowers and especially with his solutions to when I think normal writers would say they have written themselves into a wall. And Lance and Brawn? Yes please. Can we just get books about them? And can the other characters start listening to them since they seem to be more intelligent than all the others combined?A nifty thing the author did was show his research. His alternate reality really rang true. Kind of scary actually.

Although I didn't enjoy this as much as 'Super Human', this was an enjoyable read.
