[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7521498, member: 20564"] Okay, back from Switzerland. My ToBeRead pile stayed at home, I needed to travel light so it was all kindle. (My "lowest cost" flight had zero checked bags, so I needed to fit 5 working days and a travel-back day in my carry-on. Plus all my work materials.) Didn't get as much time to read as expected, was out and about Basel. Wonderful city, very clean. But I did end up reading all seven of the Wearing the Cape main books by Marion Harmon plus one side short story. (Though I still haven't read the side story with Jackie - she's not a favorite character.) I guess the series rates a B+ from me. Writing is decent but not inspired or overly polished. Plot throws twists I don't expect. I like the characters. It does some interesting deconstruction of what it means to have powers in a world where most don't. The sixth book is a about crossovers and it's a departure in style and relies on some knowledge of the other material (which I didn't really have) to get the most out of it. Oh, and the author seems to be leaning heavily on extra-reality travel (that's the author's term) for plots. It makes sense, but there's still plenty of room to explore in the world. [/QUOTE]
