Sure they will see the negative response, but all of the positive response they see to this will hopefully outweigh that. This is something that I feel can really help young trans people. I’m so happy for her being able to finally live as she truly is.

Looking forward to the next installment, ‘Unmasked’ but given the authors publisher has gone belly-up, it’s uncertain when Starcevic’s work will be available for purchase again. Their powers are fun (even if a little derivative,) but the tone of the novella is set early and you get a lot of punch for such a brief short. We get introduced to some interesting characters and superheroes. With the campy, witty writing style I got to sample, it would become a fast favourite. There is so much potential here, I was really hoping this could have been developed into a full length novel.
Would have loved this story to progress organically. I love the concept of gay teen superheroes, but we need more “story” for this coupling to truly shine.Īdditionally, because of the plot being rushed along, some of the character’s reactions felt fake/forced. In the same vein, the relationship between Ethan (our protagonist) and Greyson didn’t have time to build, and felt rushed – forced even. Without the landscape being step up and time taken to explain the slang I was left re-reading parts to make sense of it all. I staggered a little catching up with the lingo as well.
It just jumped straight into the action. The narrative has a comedic dry wit that is pleasing, and I wish this had been longer, more developed because Starcevic’s writing style is brilliant. There was little world building and hardly any time to give the characters’ back story or motivation. Maybe even someone better…įun, campy, everything you’d expect from a superhero tale.īut ‘Untouchable’ was a little too short. Even if that means casting away his old life to become someone else. Plunged into a world of capes, costumes and derring-do, he’ll do what it takes to succeed. Nevertheless, when his powers flare up to save his life-and the lives of innocents-he has no choice in the matter. Unlike most people, Ethan Elliot never wanted to be a superhero. Cute story, great writing, but too short.
