If a clicker game were a super(hero?) story, it would read something like this. In fact, the book itself hangs a lampshade on this fact when it points out the similarities between the main character’s power and a simple video game. This isn’t a story driven by a complex plot. It’s probably not going to keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s a tale driven by the main character’s progression with his power, his interactions the other characters he "recruits" (some of whom are just plain *fantastic*), and his efforts to hold on to his newfound lifestyle. This book holds your interest as you wonder just how far Felix, his growing team of supers, and a questionable sense of morality can take this as they move from tiny, incremental powerups to large-scale operations.
It’s light. Its fluffy It’s fun and more than slightly addicting (much like pancakes).
I also feel the need to give special mention to the narrator for a stellar performance. As with all of Arand’s books on Audible at the moment (and works like "Delvers LLC" and Forbes’ "Rebellion" series), this one is performed by Jeff Hays and his slew of neat little nods to presenting characters – and this story in particular gives him plenty of room to shine. There are effects to denote characters speaking through radios, power-suits, candid thoughts, and even the hero with multiplicity powers proudly declaring excited things in unison with herself. He gives voice to exasperated sighs and frustrated grunts, and it combines to really give an extra layer of life to the characters. Granted, the slow deadpan with which he reads the (probably slightly too frequent) computer-screen style readouts that Felix’s "power" generates might put you to sleep if you’re not careful, but its worth it for the sheer level of production quality and personality his narration brings to the story.
