TJ Klune does it again. Flash Fire was just as fantastic as the first book. It's funny, and emotional which makes me want to keep on reading. One of the things I adore about this series is the concept of found family. It's heartbreakingly beautiful and I love it.

Sooo good! One of my faves to read! Definitely would recommend picking this one up if you see it in the store

I enjoyed the first book in the series, but just wasn't connecting with this. Not sure if it was timing or what, but I just found myself not caring about what was going on.

TJ Klune turns his considerable talents to the world of superheroes--and fan fiction--in this YA trilogy. Filled with big emotions, big action, and lots of affection for the genre this series has something for everyone. A great follow up for fans of Klune's adult market novels and a great starting point for readers who haven't found them yet.

A great sequel to the first! I think this is a great book for people who love superheroes but also dig a good love story. It had some great plot twists and left me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommend!

First of all I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for giving me early access to this book, apologies for the delay on getting a review up on it!

This is a beautiful sequel to T. J. Klune’s The Extraordinaries. This book dives deeper into the friendship and relationships of Nick and his friends, with good exploration of real world topics contained in this fantasy setting.

I loved diving back into this world of superhero’s and seeing Nick and his friends navigate prom, I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as the first one but I am super excited to continue on into heatwave and see what is going to happen next, because let me tell you that cliffhanger is not ok!

DNF @ 15%

While I really enjoyed the first book in this series, I thought it was unique and funny, this one just made me embarrassed for the characters. I mean, I know it's YA but I think the actual YA readers would cringe at some of the behaviors the characters started off with.

I'll be sticking with Klune's adult genres from now on.

I really enjoyed this sequel. It picks up with everything I loved from the first book with the added bonus of an adorable relationship in its early stages. It’s a genuinely funny book and I had such a good time reading it. I can’t wait to see how this series wraps up.

I fully accept this series isn’t written for me. It is pure and true YA that probably resonates really well with that age range. I had a lot of trouble connecting with the characters motivations because they are true teenagers with poor judgment, not well thought out ideas, and lacking in logic. But I am an adult and with a better developed sense of those things, so it makes this one a challenge for me. I think this one will be good for YA who want to see themselves represented in books, and superhero books no less. While this series isn’t for me (and wasn’t written for me as an adult), I think the target audience will really appreciate Nick, Seth, Gibby, and Jas and the strong friendships/relationships they have.

Thank you to the publisher and NG for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A delightful follow up to The Extraordinaries. (Make sure you’ve read that first!)
TJ Klune writes hilarious dialogue and teenage antics.

I’m not huge into fantasy but I do like this author I love the writing. This book you would need to have read the first one prior to really get the full story. The characters in this book were great I loved Nicky he is the best kid! This particular series is Amied more towards you get readers, I loved the humor present. I think actually I may have enjoyed this one better then book one! It’s just as hilarious, uplifting and crazy as book one. This book was much wanted and needed! Definitely stuff I didn’t expect! Totally recommend

Again, listen to the audiobook because the narrator Michael Lesley is BRILLIANT. He will bring the book to LIFE for you and I found myself laughing out loud way more than I probably would had I just been reading it myself.

I am thoroughly in love with the universe of the Extraordinaries because of the similarities of it and Invincible, the X-men, or really any books that feature superpowered individuals who are outcasts and have to keep their identities secret.

In this we get the further adventures of Nick Bell, Seth Gray, Gibby, and Jaz along with an expansion pack of parents, villains, and allies! Nick and Seth continue to be utterly stupid sweet and cute together as well as Gibby and Jaz and along with more adventures we get more slice of life with prom, graduation, and college on the horizon.

This one though, this one ends on a BIG cliffhanger. On to Heat Wave!

Thank you to the publisher for an egalley to review. This was a great sequel to The Extraordinaries; I enjoyed the writing, characters, and storylines. Since receiving the egalley, unfortunately, and after listening to Indigenous creators in the book community, I will no longer be supporting this author.

Another amazing read from TJ Klune so funny and such a great plot, love the characters too! Can't wait for his next read

Simply amazing!

I lost count of the times I literally laughed out loud. The relationship dynamics are wonderful and heart-warming. I will definitely be continuing on to book 3 of this series.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

While I enjoyed this for the most part I think I am done with Klunes writing and humor and it no longer works for me. Or at least in this case it didn't work out for me

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book had an amazing plot, but I felt the characters were a bit hard to connect to.

Thank you kindly to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this review copy.

I really enjoyed The Extraordinaries. So it was a no brainer to request book 2 when I saw it pop up. I swear, this series is an LGBTQ+ version of Renegades by Melissa Meyer and I AM HERE FOR IT. I don't love these books as much as his other works. Ans I always tell myself I hate superhero crap but here I am loving The Avengers and the Renegades trilogy so I'm not sure I even know myself anymore. Pick this series up! You will not be disappointed.

This book gave me some of the worst secondhand embarrassment I've ever felt reading a book. That being said, it's a fun book and that embarrassment brought back a lot of feelings of being a teenager, which shows how good Klune is at writing for a teenage audience. I liked the way this book moved the series forward and I'm glad it addressed the issues with police officers. This series is pretty fun overall!

Flash Fire brought me to tears (of laughter) several times in the first few chapters, and I really couldn't love this book more.

This is a sequel to The Extraordinaries, and I would highly recommend you read it first so you understand what's going on. Nick and Seth are now dating, and Nick can't believe his good luck in getting to kiss a superhero every day. He, Seth, Gibby and Jazz are still a crime-fighting team, but Nick can see that Seth is struggling with the everyday stresses of being a superhero.

Add to that the stress of junior year of high school, having a boyfriend and figuring out the "s3x" stuff, the fact that Nick's father seems to be hiding something from him, new Extraordinaries showing up in Nova City - some good, some not so good, and old enemies plotting to register (and control) anyone who shows enhanced abilities, and this year is turning out to be a doozy.

I love Klune's writing overall, but especially in this series, as he has created a hilarious character in Nick. Anyone who knows someone with ADHD will relate to Nick's everyday struggles with being neurodiverse, and will just love the random things that come out of Nick's mouth! Klune captures the angst of being a (queer) teen with Nick, Seth, Gibby and Jazz, and the everyday (and extraordinary) issues they face.

Thanks to Netgalley for giving me an advance copy of this wonderful book!
