I'm not very knowledgeable about comics, and I didn't realize this was a sequel until toward the end of the book, so some of the backstory was unclear to me, but nevertheless I found it quite absorbing. A Cuban-American woman from Miami who grew up loving a comics, and in particular one about a woman superhero she really identified with, is contacted about helping a sketchy company with a reboot. Then it all gets complicated, Quite a lot of time is spent on the artist's childhood friendship that fell apart and the quest to find the woman behind the original comic.

My favorite parts being the narrator's voice and her description and her creative approach to the art of comics. The thriller plot was fine, too, and certainly kept me turning the pages, though I kept thinking "all this violence over an intellectual property claim?" But it gets explained in a way that works. At times the recitation of famous artists and publishers was a bit much for me, but readers who are into comics will feel seen.

Alex Segura does it again. This is a worthy successor to Secret Identity. I loved this book; it's one of my favorites for the year. It'll have you staying up all night just to see what happens next.
