Wearing the Cape is the first book in a rather interesting, if not especially deep, superhero series. As you might expect, the first book is the origin story, but it covers a bit more than that. It’s obvious by the end of the book that we’re not dealing with a comic-book level plot. These heroes have grown-up problems.

It’s worth reading at certain price points. I started the series when it was on Kindle Unlimited, but it’s no longer there, and the books are currently priced at $8 each (about half a traditionally published new release, and roughly the same as an older traditionally published book). The writing and editing merits the price. The length is … less so, as the books usually come in around 200 to 300 pages. I held off on finishing the series for that reason, at least for a while.

If you want pro-quality writing and a superhero series, this isn’t a bad choice if you aren’t sensitive to price.
