A Life More Ordinary by Amy Latta

Post by Lester Curtis »

Very nicely done!

We don't get a whole lot of romance-heavy stories here, and that aspect of it was refreshing.

I had to put myself in a certain frame of mind for this; usually, a little suspension of disbelief is enough, and of course, this story required an extra measure. But once I had that in place, it was all quite a nice, fun ride.

Nearly all of the tension in this story is centered around the romantic concerns of the various characters; the super-hero stuff is just a kind of campy setting.

Points to the author for not trying to explain any of that super-stuff; she just throws it out there and uses it.

Nothing deep or serious here, and everyone settles down happily in the end. Just a fun romp.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
