What a journey, and this is only the beginning!
To begin with, I was unsure about this novel and found the first few chapters needed me to push through, but, it was well worth it. Finding out about the characters and their adventures in looking for the truth about what has and still is happening to them kept me hooked.
The search for the story of the main characters past and why she is now an assassin is an intriguing idea and is well told. The author leaves it on a good cliff hanger which made me go straight into reading the second book in the series, I'll review that separately.
The characters felt realistic and believable, the plot, whilst set in a dystopian future, was believable and kept up the mystery of what had actually happened making it fitting for whatever the reader chose.
Definitely worth a read.

Reviewed freely after receiving an ARC copy.

I liked Tobey Maguire as Spidey. I liked Andrew Garfield a bit more. I felt like he was more relatable. However, he has been dethroned. Tom Holland is PERFECT for the role of Spiderman. He brings a fun personality that you truly believe could be the web slinger and he does so with the humor that has been present in the comic books since the beginning of time.

The story picks up without too much explanation needed as to what's happened since we last saw our hero, so that's nice. As with all MCU movies today, the effects and visuals were top notch. The makers were able to offer a refreshing take on Mysterio and Jake Gyllenhaal played the part marvelously. There were some wild twists in the story and tons of easter eggs to be had. Overall a good time, Also, Zendaya plays a wonderful MJ. Much more realistic portrayal that we've been given in film before.
