Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara – Review by Juls Dick

Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Figure in the Flames is the first three novels in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I really love this series. It starts with introducing the reader to the world of Superheroes. Specifically Friday Fitzsimmons, a first year student at the famous Hero High in Icon City. The world has changed since the first superheroes appeared. They are now celebrities, followed by cameras on their missions and fighting for popularity. The story is told in flashback with Friday recalling the tale to a writer (which is a style I really liked). Friday faces a number of trials while trying to decide which kind of hero she is going to be. Whilst also realising that not everything is as it seems in Icon City. This book has mystery, romance and action while also being funny and fresh. The main characters are (mostly) likable and as you read on you find out more about their lives. I recommend this book to fantasy lovers who are looking for something new. Very enjoyable read.
