far too sweet for me.
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!

And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!

It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)

It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?

So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .

3 stars

Captain Marvel is not a superhero I am familiar with, but with a free Kindle Unlimited trial and an upcoming movie about her, I thought I should give it a try.
Some really good artwork here, being slightly cartoony in nature but not too twee. Some good interaction with Guardians of the Galaxy.
But in general, just a bit flimsy and dull. A lot of the book falls into Phantom Menace-esque international trade tariff discussions which take up quite a large proportion of the page count.
I don't feel like this really shows off one of the most powerful superheroes in all their glory, rather being a strong independent woman sorting things out through political discussion and diplomacy before eventually resorting to her powers. While this was right for the story being told, I found it a boring one. I may not be the target market for this.
