The Vilification of Aqua Marine by Megan Mackie – Review by Shannen Kern

The Vilification of Aqua Marine by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author or this genre, but I am far beyond surprised. How have I not read any of her other books?! I was sucked into the superhero (or supervillain?) story from the beginning, and it never had the over-the-top feel that I anticipated. Instead, I found myself laughing and gasping with each humorous yet dramatic turn.
Rhainnon/Aqua Marine is the daughter of a superhero and a supervillain, which leaves her wondering where her place is in this labeled world. I find that terribly relatable as we all try to find our own way even if our parents are well-known and/or polar opposites. Rhainnon feels like she is stumbling about as an imposter because her superpowers aren’t good enough in her eyes. How can she truly leave a mark on this world if her power is as effective as a splash in the face?
From great character building to a captivatingly written world, I can’t think of any possible way this could have been a more enjoyable read! I will absolutely be picking up more of Megan Mackie’s books and looking forward to the rest of the Working Mask series!
