Black and White (The Icarus Project, #1)
by

Good and evil, shadow and light. This is a story about dualities and the thin line between. Nothing is as simple as Black and White, the book jacket proclaims; the pages does well to show it. Perspective skews what Iridium and Jet believe to be right, and neither is wrong.

While their complicated friendship proves compelling, the rest of their ties are significantly less developed. Villains are mostly caricatural, while certain heroes vanish when convenient. One that truly irks me was the Asian kungfu character named... Red Lotus. Gah.

The superheroines (or villainesses?) also get bogged down by the weight of hokey romance, which seemed shoehorned at best. Cringe as Jet becomes a mess of hormones around a man so dashing, he literally electrifies. Then again, I don't believe I am its audience at all; this might been a solid read for a teenage audience.
