They Promised Me The Gun Wasn’t Loaded, by James Alan Gardner
This is the second book in James Alan Gardner’s new series of modern-day superheroes in southern Ontario. Still don’t care about superpowered fight scenes and vampires and train heists and stuff, still have FIVE MILLION FEELS ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS AAAAAA.
The first book, All Those Explosions Were Someone Else’s Fault, was the origin story about four roommates who become superheroes. This one takes place ten days later, as they’re all working to get used to what it means to be superpowered. Each book is from a different one of their POV’s, and I believe the author intends to write one book for each character.
K, who was the POV character of the first book, is very self-analytical and interested in ideas on the nature of constructed identity. Also ze is genderqueer and I love zir very much.
Jools, who’s the POV character of this book, is…..a lot less self-analytical and a lot more of a hot mess. BUT I LOVE HER TOOOOOO!
Um. Yeah okay no I have nothing else to say about this book. I love the characters to a ridiculous degree, I want to keep hanging out with all of them, I can’t wait till the next book comes out (hopefully we do get a next book!), the end.
