A new Superhero in town!

The Way Station: Asha Anderson Book 2 YA Superhero Novel by Dustin Archibald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Asha, Lilly, and Mick are at it again in The Way Station. Asha grows into her powers and continues to be called to save lives. The spunky trio enjoys a new school semester after the city recovers from The Dragons’ attacks. The peace within the city and for the trio is short lived as the school is hit with a strange, ground shaking event. There’s a new threat!

And as many YA books the group of friends become sleuths and try to solve and then stop the threat. Asha, Lilly, and Mick are a great team. A team readers will laugh with, cheer for, feel protective over, and at times want to slap them silly.

I wanted to slap Asha upside the head a couple of times turning down money for helping to save a life. Her and her father struggle so why not take some money or something! AHHHH!

But I guess that’s not what heroes do. -eye roll-

Asha is humble, vulnerable, courageous, short tempered at times, caring, self-less, and emotionally scarred by the trauma of losing her mother and the events of book 1. What she doesn’t consider herself as is a hero.

“I’m just the muscle.” She would say

Readers will see the hero she is and the Superhero she’s becoming. Possibly in the next book is there’s one.

“And I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too, If It Weren’t For You Meddling Kids!”

The trio reminding me of Hermione(Lilly), Ron(Mick), and Harry(Asha) have a heavy task ahead of them to stop what’s coming to their city, but they have each other to lean on. They win some battles and learn how to deal with loosing some. The stakes are higher and deaths are closer to the heart. Through all odds they remind meddling kids lol and push on

Dustin Archibald has written a great YA/Sci-Fi saga with cool technology and creative detailed fresh ideas that make the genre so fun to read. There’s so much potential to expand and make the city a secondary character. Each book gets more exciting.
