Seanan McGuire and her Velveteen series were flying under my
radar when it came to superhero fiction.
Until I read Team-Ups and
Crossovers (Wearing the Cape Book 6) by Marion G. Harmon. In his book the main character is traveling
across dimensions and founds herself in Seanan McGuire’s Velveteen universe.
I enjoyed the Velveteen chapters of Mr. Harmon’s novel and
went to pick up the first of the Velveteen series. I have had a difficult time putting the Velveteen
books down. Seanan has created a world
where superheroes not only exist but they are strictly controlled by a
corporation, The Super Patriots. In this
world our heroine has quit the team and struck out on her own and is just
trying to live her life, but the Super Patriots have other plans.
The books are fun and entertaining to read. The characters have an appeal that reaches
out into our own lives. Seanan has
brought a wonderfully deep character to life and without the in-depth battle
description that are the core of some of the other super hero fiction. She delivers an entertaining series of books that
are character focused and not all about the flare and excitement of super
powers.
