Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara – Review by Kerry Baker

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara is a unique and interesting story, looking at the idea of “super heroes” in a different way. This is the boxed set of the first 3 books in this series.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the blurb of this book – I figured I was either going to love it or I really wasn’t. Thankfully I can honestly say I loved it. I really enjoyed that it was a different take on a super hero story as more exciting to read and gave the book a new depth to it.
The characters were all really interesting as they were all so different from each other.
This is a well written and fun series to read. I would definitely recommend it!

Figure in the Flames is a collection of books 1-3 in the Hero High Series by Mina Chara. Having all 3 books in a box set was a great idea- each time I finished a book, I was scrambling for the next. This series introduces Friday Fitzsimmons and her super power. She needs to learn how to use her power and when. Leaning on friends is a good thing, until it’s not. Who will be in Friday’s corner? Trust me this is a great read if you like the super power genre. It is a YA book, but the way Mina writes, makes it for any age!

5-Stars

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara was an exciting and fun read. The storyline easily caught my attention and I burned through this book in a heartbeat. The characters were fun and creative with unique powers and abilities. Friday was special and her power was passive. Her personality and subtle love interest kept me hooked. I loved the ending even if it was a bit of an emotional thing. Such a wonderful read. I highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Figure in the Flames is a collection of books 1-3 in the Hero High Series by Mina Chara. I love that she made it into a boxset, because the books are cliffhangers, and I believe, should be all 1 book. Its 3 parts to the same story. I highly recommend this series, I’ve really enjoyed it. This is the first time reading this author, but I look forward to more. When I first started the series, I thought it was going to be cheesy because of the names of the city and characters. They were not very original, using names like Super Structure, Hero High, and Captain Fantastic. Despite that, I am glad I stuck out the story because I ended up loving it. The writing style is very descriptive and you feel like you’re right there alongside the characters. It seems like The Incredibles meets XMen.
The series starts out with Denial, which follows 17 year old Friday, who has super powers. She is shipped off to Hero High, which is a school for those with powers, but doubles as a reality show. They are followed by cameras, and merchandise is made to look like them and sold in the malls. These super kids are assigned a team and a mentor, have their wardrobes picked for them, the whole nine yards. They are constantly being filmed,dressed up for photo shoots and whisked off to PR events. Friday is trying to stay in the shadows, but keeps finding herself in the spotlight.
The next book is Anger, and it picks up right where Denial left off. This book is very short, and I read it in 1 night. This story continues telling us of Friday’s life at Hero High. There isn’t a lot I can tell you without possible spoiler alerts. Friday comes in contact with the new Dr. Dangerous again, and things escalate quickly. She is still looking up to her mentor Sense. And the weird love/hate relationship between Friday and Ashley continues.
Bargaining is book 3 was my favorite of the three. There is so much going on in this book! So many shocks and surprises, action packed. Friday wanted to stay in the background, but since day 1 has been up front and center. She feels like everything is going wrong. She keeps fighting with her best friend, and handler, Jake. Dr Dangerous, a superhero who is supposed to be dead, seems to have resurfaced (or a copycat) and has a fixation on her. And there is a man in flames that keeps showing up and causing trouble. There are so many shockers in this story, I don’t want to give anything away. I highly recommend and cannot wait to see what happens next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found myself enjoying these books, even though it is a genre I don’t usually read. Friday is attending Hero High which simultaneously films a reality TV show. While her superpower isn’t one of the big flashy ones, she needs to find a way to make the producers (and audience) notice her and want her to be in a better grouping. While navigating the school aspect, she also has personal relationship drama with her best friend, new relationships to build with her mentor and other students, and a mysterious figure in the flames which keeps making appearances in her life.
This is definitely young adult…but it was a nice break from some of the other heavy stuff I read. I was pulled into the futuristic world and added drama of the reality tv show (like Big Brother). The series is not over…so I will be waiting to see what happens next.

I have loved each of these books individually and found the story to develop beautifully over the course of the series. Friday is a great main character. This is not your ordinary superhero tale. Once you start book one, you will want to read the rest. This box set is a must read. Look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Hero High: Figure in the Flames contains the first three books in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story set in a ‘superhero’ high school- full of action, adventure, friendship, coming of age, danger, discovery, superheros, super-villains, reality TV, fame, responsibility, angst, and a little romance. The story set in a near future world, Icon City, and follows Friday Fitzsimmons on an incredible adventure.
When 17 year old Friday develops ‘powers’ she is sent to Hero High, where reality TV and superhero high school collide- and where Friday’s adventures begin. Get set for things to get interesting…..
So, if you love young adult reads with fantasy, adventure, and superheroes- then this is definitely a series you won’t want to miss.

Thank you, Mina Chara!

This is the third book in the Hero High Series. Denial and Anger need to be read first. Many more surprises in this book with plenty of action thrown in!! You follow Friday, a student at Hero High, and the school is also in a reality show with the other students. While dystopian, you definitely get real parts while reading, especially with Friday. And that surprised me. This has to be the best in the series so far!! Pick up the first one and read all about her quest for the truth!!!

5 out of 5 stars

This is an amazing set of books. I loved reading each one. The author does an amazing job of pulling you into each story and I didn’t want to put them down. The stories are fast-paced and entertaining. I loved reading about the character of Friday Fitzsimmons. She and others are part of a reality TV channel where good fights evil. I enjoyed reading about the interactions/bantering between many of the characters that interact with Friday. Then there are those whose motives are in question, such as the man who calls himself The Figure in The Flames. The author also does a wonderful job of world-building and keeping the stories interesting. There are twists that I didn’t see coming and I found myself turning pages to see what happens next. The stories include action, danger, and even a bit of romance. Don’t miss out on the exciting and addictive stories in this box set. I highly recommend them.

This is a boxset of the first three books in the Hero High series. It is a young adult series that brings you into a world of the supernatural. Friday is a girl that is supernaturally gifted and she trains at a special university. This boxset will take her through adventures that involve romance, she needs to figure out who she is and she needs to prove herself. The characters are really strong and make the story engaging. I had no problem connecting to them as well as they had me turning pages fast to the end. I highly recommend reading this boxset to find out what happens with Friday.

One in a Thousand People on Planet Earth Have Supernatural Powers.

Friday Fitzsimmons is just trying to keep her family business afloat when she discovers a dormant power she didn’t even know she possessed.

Forced to train at a school for the supernaturally gifted, she’s thrust into the glamour of Icon City, a haven for those with powers. The citizens tune in every day to watch their own reality TV channel where good fights evil for the city’s soul.

Friday, like hundreds of other “gifted” students, takes part in the show, but not everyone choses to use their powers for good, like the mysterious masked boy Friday keeps seeing, or the man on fire who calls himself The Figure In The Flames.

Struggling to support her family while coming to terms with her own guilt, Friday finally falls in love, but as events unravel she is forced to question her heart more than once. This may just be her chance to prove herself, but it’s not that simple.

It never is, is it?

I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire series and found this latest installment to exceed my expectations. I love Friday and reading her story. There is so much going on. This is a quick read that has an epic feel to it. Lots to love about this superhero fantasy. It doesn’t dumb things down. It gives you a tangible and relatable heroine to hold on to. I simply adore these books and can’t wait to read more.

I have read a few books from this author and I am now a huge fan. This has turned into one of my favorite series of this year. I absolutely love a good young adult fantasy but this author exceeded my expectations. This is the third book from the Hero High series. You do have to read these books in order or you will be lost in knowing what’s going on. I was excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was addicted to these characters I read this book all the way through.

Friday is now part of the gold team but everything else is falling apart. She still feels like she is being watched and her friendship with Jake is breaking. Friday is now popular and even the film crew is helping her out. She doesn’t want to let Captain Fantastic down either. Friday is getting closer to figuring out who the new Dr. Dangerous is but when she finds out will it crush her dreams? Will Friday fight for what she believes in or will she have to give in?

This is the third book in the Hero High series…and you should definitely read the first two prior to starting this one. This book is a continuation from the second book. Friday is trying to figure out who she is as a superhero…trying to be true to herself while making the producers happy. Her relationship with her best friend is struggling and she doesn’t know why everything around here seems so crazy.

This series is not one I would usually read, as it is not a genre I typically choose, but it has kept me entertained and wanting to find out what happens next. Like the other books, it is a fairly quick read that is full of action. It is worth picking up and reading…and I will definitely be interested in what Mina Chara comes up with next!

Bargaining is the third book in Hero high series written by Mina China and I still do not know what to make of these stories but I do keep reading. This is Friday Fitzsimmons story and is set in the near future world of Icon City, a place filled with powered one-percenters, She finally joined the gold team, the producers even like her now, but it feels like she has abandoned everything that makes a good hero, in order to be a good hero.
Everything is going wrong for her she still doesn’t know who to trust and people aren’t what they seem. Every move she makes to uncover the truth is defeated by forces she cannot even see. But she will not give up.
Will Friday find out the truth? Will she learn who she can trust? You will need to read this story to find out…..
I recommend this story/series. You have to read the books in order to follow the plot.

This series has really taken off with this third installment of Bargaining, Hero High book #3. I have read the other books in the series up to this one and I would recommend that you do as well to understand and follow the progression of things with Friday and the supporting characters. In this one we find Friday in a new slew of complications. Her best friend, Jake, and their relationship is falling to pieces, while the rest of the world around her seems to also be falling more and more apart each day. She has made great strides on the show and the producers have placed her in the Gold team but she starts to wonder what it really takes to be a hero and if she is going about things in the right way. I love how things seem realistic even for a dystopian novel, things could be possible and that makes the allure of these reads that much more drawing. I look forward to seeing what we will get next in the latest and newest installment in the series. I will definitely be back to see what will take place.

This is a book with quite a different flip on the super hero stories. Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara by Mina Chara was an interesting read. Anyone who is into super heroes will enjoy this story. Some good clean romance that I can see leading to more stories about Hero High as this little romance seems an impossibility. David’s confession to Friday that he was gay seems an odd hanging thread unless it too will launch another story. Lots of possibilities for future reads in this little book.

Bargaining is book 3 in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I am really enjoying this series, but I recommend just buying the series as a whole. They should all be read together, as each book stops in a cliff hanger,in the middle of the story. I don’t feel like each book is its own story. However, this was the best of the 3. There is so much going on in this book! So many shocks and surprises, action packed. Friday Fitzsimmons is a student at Hero High. A school for superheros (think XMen) however, the school also has a reality tv show. The students are constantly being filmed, dressed up for photo shoots, whisked off for PR events, on top of being teenagers, struggling through high school. To top it off, they are paired with a superhero mentor, and are already taking part is rescues. Friday wanted to stay in the background, but since day 1 has been up front and center. She feels like everything is going wrong. She keeps fighting with her best friend and handler Jake. Dr Dangerous, a superhero who is supposed to be dead, seems to have resurfaced (or a copycat) and has a fixation on her. And there is a man in flames that keeps showing up and causing trouble.

Bargaining is the third book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This story is about Friday Fitzsimmons and her struggles. There seems to be something wrong with her long time best friend Jake. She isn’t sure Dr. Dangerous, the villain, is who he is supposed to be. Being a part of the gold team has her starting to question things. Is she doing the right thing? Are all the cameras, the glitz and the glam, and the “villains” really what being a hero is all about? Friday is determined not to fail, especially because Captain Fantastic seems to think she can do the right thing. I was able to read this story in a matter of hours but still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bargaining is the third book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This book really ties up this series. I’m so glad I chose to read this series. I found the character development and world building to be detailed and easily relatable. This series needs to be read in order or you will miss too much back stories. I found this book to be my favorite of all three. Friday Fitzsimmons Story continues, and it is full of action and adventure as she tries to figure out the good vs. evil in her life. This YA series is addicting and it has some twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. I highly recommend this book, series, and author.

Bargaining by Mina Chara a flaming five-star read. This is number three in the Hero High series and they are best read in order, and they are all so quickly read you can read them all quickly, easily and enjoyably. Friday Fitzsimmons brings this story to life for me, I simply adore the character, there is something about them that juts keeps you on our toes, watching Friday deal with anxiety will help some deal with it, sowing them that they aren’t alone and how to recognise it. This is shaping to a very interesting and complex series that will surprise many.

Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story. Set in the future where hero’s are the norm and their lives are broadcast on television for all to see. In this book everything comes to head and we see who is who and which side they are on.

Just what makes a true hero? This is one series that should not be missed.

This is a Young Adult fantasy story. This book should be read after Denial and Anger. Bargaining picks up where Anger left off. You are in the future built around the fantasy world. By reading the in order, you will become familiar with all of the characters. You will also find growth, as Friday tries to figure out what she really wants. Remembering Friday is also still being watched and is trying to lay low.

Mina Chara has continued to keep the YA’s entertained with this the third book in her series. It is a must read, loaded with fantasy and adventure. Included are the superheroes, all while keeping them reading. Big props to Mina Chara for encouraging teens to read. Adults would also enjoy this short story as well.

Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara is a short story that once you start reading you won’t be able to stop till the end. I can’t recommend this series enough and if you haven’t already read the first two books you definitely need to. Really they should be read in order then you will have a better understanding of what is going on as each follows the last one. So since joining the gold team the producers of the show seem to like her more but she knows she’s still being watched. Friday feels like the weight of the world is on her shoulders, things with Jonathan are rocky and she’s a bit overwhelmed with it all. She doesn’t feel as though she’s being true to herself and that makes her feel like a sell out. Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

So far this has been my favorite book in the series. We see a lot of action, answers to questions and shock…yes I was shocked. Things are turned upside down and I was not prepared but then I was disappointed in a certain character. But I do love watching Friday use her powers and always wondering what she is going to do next.

Anyway this is fun and like I said full of action. It kept my interest and made me want to know what was going to happen next. I was really able to stick with the characters and hope for their success. Friday’s story was a treat to read.
