I really enjoyed this take on a superstory story-- however, some parts do feel a little fluffy, and it feels like not much is happening. However, its a fun and easy read so it is still super enjoyable.

The absolute best way to consume these books are through the audio. They are some of the most entertaining audiobooks I have ever listened to. I loved this book, although it was frustratingly obvious about so many things. The end blew my mind.

I don’t often read super hero style stories but, as always, T. J. Klune does it wonderfully. A thoroughly entertaining series so far.

I really enjoy everything TJ Klune writes, and this was enjoyable enough. It was not a favorite, nor was it particularly memorable. I did not continue with the series, but I do find the romance aspect very sweet.

loved this next book in the series. Nick and Seth are so cute together. Taking off a star because the reveal that Nick has superpowers is so foreshadowed, it felt very heavy handed. But the writing is very good and I really enjoyed reading it.

This book was just sadly not for me! I was hoping for something different but it turned out to be something I was not expecting, which is okay and I'm sure someone else would love it!

This book is perfect. There is literally nothing to criticize about it. Tj Klune is a master of writing witty dialogue and I'll forever read anything he writes. I want this series to continue forever, though I know it's coming to an end.

I had to DNF this book. I am a big fan of TJ Klune's books for adults, but this one had a different tone, and it just wasn't for me. I also realized, after the fact, that this is book two of a series called The Extraordinaries, and since I had not read book one, I did not want to start the series with book two.

No matter what TJ Klune book I pick up, I’m never left disappointed.
There is something in the way he writes that always pulls me in.
His characters are so funny, relatable but absolutely never flat. He has the ability to make me laugh one moment and sob the next.
I adored this next instalment of super hero shenanigans and can’t wait to pick up the next!

The second book was just as strong as the first one and I can't wait to finish the series. TJ Klune can do no wrong as an author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

Wow just wow! I don’t know how this author can create worlds so vivid & asks tough questions that we should be asking ourselves & spin it in to a wondrous, beautiful tale but he does. If you want to laugh & cry at the same time & also have your heart put through a blender then read this book & then go out & read everything this man has ever written.

Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, and Tor Teen for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was one of those rare occasions when I enjoyed the sequel even more than the first book. I feel like in a lot of cases the first books are usually either the best book in a series or close to the best. However, this book was definitely a favorite.

I absolutely love all of these characters so much and I would read so many more books about them. Nick, Seth, Jazz, and Gibby are the definition of friendship goals and I loved to read the continuation of their story.

This book was such an amazing rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend it!

TJ Klune does it again. Flash Fire was just as fantastic as the first book. It's funny, and emotional which makes me want to keep on reading. One of the things I adore about this series is the concept of found family. It's heartbreakingly beautiful and I love it.

Sooo good! One of my faves to read! Definitely would recommend picking this one up if you see it in the store

I enjoyed the first book in the series, but just wasn't connecting with this. Not sure if it was timing or what, but I just found myself not caring about what was going on.

TJ Klune turns his considerable talents to the world of superheroes--and fan fiction--in this YA trilogy. Filled with big emotions, big action, and lots of affection for the genre this series has something for everyone. A great follow up for fans of Klune's adult market novels and a great starting point for readers who haven't found them yet.

A great sequel to the first! I think this is a great book for people who love superheroes but also dig a good love story. It had some great plot twists and left me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommend!

First of all I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for giving me early access to this book, apologies for the delay on getting a review up on it!

This is a beautiful sequel to T. J. Klune’s The Extraordinaries. This book dives deeper into the friendship and relationships of Nick and his friends, with good exploration of real world topics contained in this fantasy setting.

I loved diving back into this world of superhero’s and seeing Nick and his friends navigate prom, I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as the first one but I am super excited to continue on into heatwave and see what is going to happen next, because let me tell you that cliffhanger is not ok!

DNF @ 15%

While I really enjoyed the first book in this series, I thought it was unique and funny, this one just made me embarrassed for the characters. I mean, I know it's YA but I think the actual YA readers would cringe at some of the behaviors the characters started off with.

I'll be sticking with Klune's adult genres from now on.
