Summary
Flash Fire is the explosive sequel to The Extraordinaries by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune！
Through bravery， charm， and an alarming amount of enthusiasm， Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams。 Now instead of just writing stories about him， Nick actually gets to kiss him。 On the mouth。 A lot。 But having a superhero boyfriend isn’t everything Nick thought it would be—he’s still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers。
When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice， a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind， and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth， Gibby， and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous。
And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light。 Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice， family， and being extraordinary。 Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic。
Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames？

So， this is young adult fiction - really for young gay men I think with lots of sexual references but no real sex。 Kind of like the young male mind。。。。 It's the second in his Extraordinaries series。 I laughed so hard in this book because from an adult view， it was hilariously funny and fun。 The main character is ADHD and the view into his mind is fascinating。 And his relationships with the adults around him， so heartwarming even when he is pissed off， which leads to all kinds of supernatural stu So， this is young adult fiction - really for young gay men I think with lots of sexual references but no real sex。 Kind of like the young male mind。。。。 It's the second in his Extraordinaries series。 I laughed so hard in this book because from an adult view， it was hilariously funny and fun。 The main character is ADHD and the view into his mind is fascinating。 And his relationships with the adults around him， so heartwarming even when he is pissed off， which leads to all kinds of supernatural stuff。 Definitely a fun read， especially for anyone who loves superheroes， but I would not recommend for pre-puberty。 :） 。。。more

Well this book was an absolute roller coaster！Right off the bat this book had me laughing out loud with tears in my eyes and people around me giving me strange looks like they were just waiting for people dressed in all white to come around the corner and take me to the an institution。SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT READ THE FIRST BOOK YET。。。。。。I love the relation Nick and Seth have and I love the inner monologues that Nick has throughout the book but I especially love them when they are about Seth。Just c Well this book was an absolute roller coaster！Right off the bat this book had me laughing out loud with tears in my eyes and people around me giving me strange looks like they were just waiting for people dressed in all white to come around the corner and take me to the an institution。SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT READ THE FIRST BOOK YET。。。。。。I love the relation Nick and Seth have and I love the inner monologues that Nick has throughout the book but I especially love them when they are about Seth。Just cant help but smile and get butterflies when I read about how perfect Seth is in Nick’s eyes because when you love someone the way Nick loves Seth， everything they do is perfect。Now to the reason I gave this book a 4/5。Honestly I read to get away from all of the horrible things going on in the world and I know that real life issues often bleed into out fictional worlds and maybe if I read this at a different time in my life I would give this a 5/5 but I just felt like it was way more political than the first one。Also， and this has nothing to do with my rating just a little fair warning to fans that loved the first book and want to read the second， this book was way more “sexual” than the first book。 No， there aren’t any sex scenes because we are still talking about characters who are minors but they do talk a lot about being safe and things to use during sex to stay safe which honestly is great but I do know that not everyone wants to read in a queer superhero book lol 。。。more

So good， better than the first book in the series by a long shot。 Made me laugh and cry and blush all at the same time。 Plot twists I never saw coming and an amazing story with well flesh out characters。

Dare I say I loved this one more than book 1！？ Solid 5⭐️ read for me！ TJ Klune had this ability to write with such heart， conviction， humor， and emotion that I rollercoaster through all of the emotions before the book ends every time！ Their were some major issues brought up in book 1 from reviewers and I was amazed at how head on TJ Klune was able to handle and tackle those topics in a way that still felt natural for the story！ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻That ending- I can’t can’t wait for book 3！ I need it asap！

I'm not surprised that I absolutely adored this book。 TJ Klune writes such lovable characters thats its easy to get emotionally invested in their stories。 This series has so much humor but is also sprinkled in with deeper & darker discussions such as grief， mental illness， and sexuality。I highly suggest listening to audiobook because it is just fantastic！ The narrator really brings the story and each character to life。 You easily immerse yourself into this world of superheroes that Klune has cra I'm not surprised that I absolutely adored this book。 TJ Klune writes such lovable characters thats its easy to get emotionally invested in their stories。 This series has so much humor but is also sprinkled in with deeper & darker discussions such as grief， mental illness， and sexuality。I highly suggest listening to audiobook because it is just fantastic！ The narrator really brings the story and each character to life。 You easily immerse yourself into this world of superheroes that Klune has crafted。I especially love the snippets TJ Klune includes after the end credits （think Marvel）。 Each bonus scene reveals quite a freakin plot twist which quite literally throws you off the edge of a cliff！ Make sure you have the next book available to immediately jump into because holy adhsgfiwbq I need the next book NOW！Klune， please be kind to my babies in the conclusion。 Deal？？ 。。。more

This book does the opposite of “show， don’t tell”。 Everything is spelled out to a T， which leaves little room for surprises and many information dumps。 It’s painful to rate a book with so much queer representation so lowly， but I was nearly DNF several times over。

I love Seth Grey so much， and he deserves the world。 I really enjoyed this follow up to The Extraordinaries but my one complaint that made me unable to give it 5 stars is that it got really heavy with real world issues， which are super valid and important， and I appreciate the author incorporating it， but I felt it was a rather abrupt difference from the first novel， and since I read these back to back （rereading the first so I could read this）， it just was a little more jarring。 All in all thou I love Seth Grey so much， and he deserves the world。 I really enjoyed this follow up to The Extraordinaries but my one complaint that made me unable to give it 5 stars is that it got really heavy with real world issues， which are super valid and important， and I appreciate the author incorporating it， but I felt it was a rather abrupt difference from the first novel， and since I read these back to back （rereading the first so I could read this）， it just was a little more jarring。 All in all though， I love this series and I cannot wait for the next book！ The characters are all so delightful （and Seth Grey deserves the world） and it's just such a fun series。 。。。more

Very fun again but totally ridiculous。 I’m not sure if Klune means to make all the twists super obvious and it’s an on purpose unreliable narrator situation but yeah all the hints are super obvious。 Still fun though if a bit too much teenage boy。
