dare reviewed Zeros by Scott Westerfeld (Zeroes trilogy -- book 1)
Review of 'Zeros' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Powers. Personalities. Society. These are the three pillars of a good superhero story, and Zeroes builds them strong. The powers of our heroes are well-defined and understandable, yet unique - none of the standard cookie-cutter fare here. The characters are interesting and likeable, and you want to root for them even when they do stupid or hurtful things. And the world around them reacts to them, puts them in difficult situations and doesn't give them an easy way out.
Zeroes is a delight. Of course I love superheroes, but I can easily recommend Zeroes even to those the genre normally leaves cold. The plot is simple in the best possible way: no convoluted conspiracies, just normal and not-so-normal people who want things, and end up in confilct because of this.
