Super Powereds: Year 2

The band of misfits known as the powereds still hangs on with the Lander University, a place where heroes are trained. The university has been training supers for a longtime but the only problem the institute has failed to solve is the one associated with children who don’t have fully bloomed powers.

They are the second rank students who cannot mix in the human world but they have no place among the supers as well. This is the second year for the students and the previous one Super Powereds: Year 1 was a rough and tough one. Students were kidnapped on regular intervals and there was a group of students that went out of hands. But kidnapping was not the only thing they group wanted, it had certain other dark desires and thus now they are treated as villains. So the kids in the second year of their Hero course now try to work as a team.

Most of the students still don’t like it at all but for survival in the real world and in the school it is necessary. Drew Hayes tries to make the underdogs rise and since the beginning of time people love the rise of those who are usually no loved. Love is not in the air but from the look of the story it is a surety that the audience will observe bonds between the students that will set the course of the story in the later chapters.

A causal tone by Kyle McCarley and the narrator is still not trying to do too much in the narration perhaps when the war will get intense we would see a change.

 

 

Unable to concentrate in the third year because of the external threats and challenges the heroes still try to pay full attention to their exams. The last two years have not been an easy ride and the students in Super Powereds: Year 1 and Super Powereds: Year 2 learned a lot about team work. The powereds have proved their worth but still they cannot be super heroes and everyone knows that. Everyone now knows that the danger is lurking near since one of the students is now gone and there is suspicion resting on the entire group.

No one is ready to fight back or investigate matters on his own rather almost all of the students want to complete their certification and get out of the institute as long as the going is good. Drew Hayes from the first novel has been trying to give some messages to the new generation. First one is of course team work and secondly everyone has his or her role in the team. The powereds must be given importance equal to heroes after all they have some qualities of their which are peculiar but that is what makes them unique.

Another awesome ride narrated by Kyle McCarley, the book is loaded with super powers display of the heroes in the making. As the years are passing the groups are clear and there is more unity among the friends than there was in the first year. They are aware that with unity, hard work and full commitment they will go through the last year. But the evil still lurks in the shadows and the motives and plans are unclear.

 

 

 

“Super hero” section in literature has been the main area of concern for Drew Hayes for many years. He has presented books like Second Hand Curses and Forging Hephaestus in which we meet more than one super hero at a time. Heroes that are present in these novels are not the conventional style that is present in the movies and old time novels.

The heroes are with super power but their personalities are non-conventional and at times can be called strange. This series introduces a new kind of institute like “Harry Potter”, here in Lander institute children with special skills are trained to be heroes. Not all of them are selected for the special training only those who different from the rest get the chance to become official heroes.

The there is also the mud blood situation; there are students who are more than humans and lesser than heroes. Powereds is the term that the institute uses for them, they can’t be trained as heroes and they can neither become supers. An entirely new zone in which the author has started working and this is just the beginning of a new series narrated by Kyle McCarley. Description of this new institute is mind blowing and the jealousy between the students along with the competition they bear is awesome.

In the parts to come only the future will decide the fate of the supers and the powereds, and the worth would be proved in the field when action will take place in the class and on the field. At least up to this part in the class the supers are winning in everything including the gain of respect.
