grav_ityThis was so goooooooooood.
I suppose the pitch would be "the Incredibles meets the Office", but with way fewer straight white dudes and a REALLY COOL hero/villain dynamic, and POLITICS.
And, you know, kissing.
Lee's worldbuilding was really, really good, and I loved all of her characters. The "reveals" weren't at all surprising to me, but I believed that the MC was surprised, which is how I like my books, tbh. The pace was excellent and the plotting was excellent and the ideas behind everything were excellent...
Basically I just enjoyed the whole thing immensely, and can't wait for Lee's next book (Not Your Villain).
