I finished re-reading The Extraordinaries so naturally I started re-reading the sequel, Flash Fire.
The conclusion of The Extraordinaries was everything. It has action, laughs and romance. I absolutely love Nick and Seth to pieces. They are just some of the most adorable characters Iāve ever read about in a while. They are just so cute. They love each other so much and I just canāt. When they get too sweet or too emotional I just freaking cry. Thatās how good the story is.
But anyways, Flash Fire is just so much more. We still donāt know what the actual main antagonist is really after. You ask me and Iām like āI have no ducking ideaā. The Cap thinks he wants revenge for what happened with his son, but honestly, I donāt think he cares that much. And I know thereās a whole lot more going on. And if it does end up actually being about revenge i donāt know how I will feel or how I will react.
If you still feel like you donāt know if you should read it, Iāve read 514 books in my life (and counting),donāt know if itās high or low or in the middle but whatever, but Iāve never, never reread a book before. And I am rereading this series.
I love how miss conduct calls Nick a Twinkie. And Seth āHoneybunchā. I love her. I love when Nick is like: I wanna be you when I grow up. Iām like: boy, me too. Sheās just soā¦I donāt know. Sheās sassy and so cool. Anyways.
Not really a spoiler but, whenever anyone is like āNicky, noā and Nick just answers āNicky, yesā. I laugh so hard. ļæ¼
When Cap came over to talk to Aaron and Nick (due to a press conference, they thought Cap was working with the main antagonist, so he came to clear the air) and he basically slipped that he knew that Seth was Pyro Storm. And they were freaking out šš. Capās explanation is everything. He basically said that Nick is not the kind of person that would two-time Seth and I quote āthe Nick I knew wouldnāt do something as mean as two-timing the boy heās been in love with for yearsāā that was just so great. Itās just like how Jazz found out. By being purely observant.
The whole Seth telling Nick he loves him, the whole prom thing (even though it all kinda goes to hell), and then FINALLY when Nick tells Seth that he loves him back, itās justā¦ah š„ŗ ļæ¼
Nick talking about āthe rest of their livesā had me bawling. I cried when they were going to prom and the way Nick described seeing Seth in his tux. Like nothing else mattered. Like everything else dissolved around them. Oh how I wish to have that same experience. And for someone to think the same thing for me. But when Nick talked about the rest of their lives. Omg. I love them.
The dead magician tux. Thatās it. I just fucken cant. I love Nick so much. Heās just so unique and so cute. I would kill, KILL to be able to see him in his tux with Seth next to him.
Fucking Owen escaped from wherever the hell he was being held in, but I was like, Iāll deal with you later, because right now, my heart is full due to all the queer love ā¤ļø
Then my heart broke when Seth decided to tell everyone he was Pyro Storm. Not because he did but because of what happened afterwards. Though I donāt understand why people were being mean. He always gave it his all to protect the people in their stupid city. Would he burn the city for Nick? Maybe but still. Seth is the most adorable and I am with Nick, he should be protected at all cost.
The costume š„ŗ the one that miss conduct gifts Nick. I cried. The freaking note she writes him. I cried harder. And Nickā¦.š taking up the hero name Guardian in honor of his mother. Wow. Iāve read a lot of books and itās easy for me to see sometimes where the book is headed. There are some exemptions obviously, and this one is actually one of them. I donāt think I saw him taking up that name for his new hero endeavour. Though I think as I write this, I shouldāve.
And Sethā¦taking Nickās position in Lighthouse. It made my heart so full.
The end though!!!! Like those last four pages (I think they were four). The FUCKING REVEAL!! Freaking Jenny Bell (Nickās mom that supposedly died 2 years before the events in the first book) is alive. Though I already knew that. I suspected it when they kept mentioning the extraordinary TK. Though I was still surprised I was right. Though there better be an amazing explanation of why she faked her death in the third and final book of the series. Iām saying this because both Nick and Aaron mourned her, still are. She obviously didnāt do it on a whim I know that but that destroyed them so much.
T_____T I canāt wait for the conclusion.
Heat wave coming out July 19, 2022
Let me put it here, I know that Seth basically hung his cape in this book but I just know, in the climax all of the good extraordinaries are gonna band together. And then Pyro Storm will make an appearance. I just know it.
