About this audiobook

She doesn't want to be a superhero. But she has no choice.

Sixteen-year-old Ashley 'Crafter' Jason has trust issues. Especially with supers, despite being a super and daughter of two famous superheroes herself.

That's because Ashley suffers from a rare genetic disorder known as Hernandez's Disease. Left unchecked, Ashley's own powers will kill her before she turns twenty-one. The superhero community fears and shuns everyone who suffers from this disorder, forcing Ashley to keep it a secret to avoid total ostracization and even violence from her fellow supers.

To find a cure, Ashley enrolls at the Theodore Jason Academy for Young Superhumans, the country's best superhero school. Her science teacher, Professor Dean Hernandez, specializes in superhuman genetics and believes he can cure her.

A cure becomes the last thing on Ashley's mind, however, when Parasite, a deadly superhuman terrorist, threatens to destroy the Academy and Ashley herself. Now Ashley must manage her condition, embrace her superhero heritage, and learn to trust others to defeat Parasite and save the Academy.

To summarize, this story is stupid, but I don't hate it. The basis of the story is pretty good and interesting. The tropes some people love about superhero stories, especially classic ones, are all there. What is totally off putting and disenchanting about this story is that every scenario flips to unbelievable extremes and most of the characters seem irreconcilibly irrational. One quickly learns that what is written has no weight and can be completely nullified in the next sentence. Lastly, there is no hesitance to including violent death, but every single character is so incompetent that it's a wonder anybody actually dies, except in the backstory. It is really not a *fun* story to listen to, but an avid reader such as myself might keep reading/listening. It also doesn't have the kind of political and psychological propaganda garbage that many other books have, so it's mostly tolerable stupidity and I may be persistent enough to read the series to the end.
