The Girl Who Would Be King by Kelly Thompson




A superhero story with a difference. Two girls blessed with super powers,  one good one bad. Not the most original of set-ups, but done very well nonetheless. The good girl was perhaps a little bland and predictable,  but this book really came to life when focusing on the evil character.  The descent into madness was drawn out exceptionally well and made for a fuller character than the good version.  While the ending was a little obvious, its hard to criticise as things are rarely wrapped up neatly, and this proves that fact.
