Week 7 Review: Faith: Greater Heights

From Goodreads:

From Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin', comes the exciting conclusion in the two-book origin story of fan-favorite comic character Faith—a fierce, plus-size superhero.

Faith Herbert can finally admit that she's not a regular teen. Thankfully, her two best friends, Matt and Ches, are now in on her superhero secret. But after the chaos of her first semester, Faith just wants to end her senior year on a normal note—enjoying all the hallmarks of graduating high school—like prom! And, possibly, getting to attend college in the fall.

A new teacher has taken over journalism class, and Faith is only occasionally reminded of the empty spot left by Colleen Bristow, the quiet nerd-turned-supervillain. That is, until Faith hears from Peter that other psiots have been going missing, and he suspects that her old classmate is somehow involved. Faith decides the only way to get to the bottom of it is to find Colleen—before enemies can get to her first.

As her search starts to collide with the memorable senior year she's been hoping for, Faith learns that you gotta have faith…that sometimes fate will point you in the right direction.

My Review:
I has such a great time reading this book! I loved the first, and was really excited to see where Faith's story was going to go from there. Since this does take place after spring break, so I was excited to see how things would pick up again!

I enjoyed spending this time with Faith and her friends. Faith quickly goes through a lot of life changes with Grandma Lou. But there's also some odd things going on, like fires almost everywhere she goes, to Colleen being back. So that was interesting to read, and wondering how it was all going to come together! 

I did think that the ending was a little quick. There was the battle, and then they had that other bad guy swoop in and take this bad guy's stuff. So that was a little too much of brushing it off for my taste. And sure her story is continued in the comics, but it was the end of the prose books, so I would've liked things to be wrapped up a bit more.

Speaking of the comics, I'm almost certainly not going to read them, though I do wish that I could see the continuation of Faith's story. But it seems to go in a different direction that I would want, so I'm just going to ignore it, and pretend that her future goes where I want it!

Really enjoyed reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Julie Murphy!
