Flash Fire: The Extraordinaries, Book Two (The Extraordinaries, 2)

First editions of the Flash Fire hardcover come with a reversible jacket!

Flash Fire is the explosive sequel to The Extraordinaries by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune!

Through bravery, charm, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams. Now instead of just writing stories about him, Nick actually gets to kiss him. On the mouth. A lot. But having a superhero boyfriend isn’t everything Nick thought it would be—he’s still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers.

When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous.

And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic.

Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames?

I really wanted to like this book. I adored both of his adult books and I really enjoyed/ sped through the first book in the extraordinaries series. However this book was a dud in my opinion. It was wayyyyy too wordy throughout and went on multiple side bars that added little to nothing to the book.

Will I read the 3rd? TBD, honestly

The conversations in this book about anti-racism, accountability, forgiveness, and representation are very necessary! While I didn’t love this sequel the same way I loved the first book, I still enjoyed and appreciated it. There were a lot of plot points I was anticipating and was a bit underwhelmed by the unfolding of those parts of the story. However, I’m still excited for the next book out this summer!!

Thank you T.J. Klune for another fun and heartfelt read!
