Girl on Fire

Edelweiss+ provided me a DRC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not a huge fan of superhero comics, and this one is really an expanded version. Our heroine discovers, practices, and uses her powers for good while trying to balance school, family, and neighborhood dangers.
The characters here are the best part, but they all needed more development. I could have used about 100 more pages to get to know Lolo's family, best friend, and frenemies. Plot-wise everything happens a little too fast which made it hard to really invest in any of the conflicts. Even the penultimate fight at the end seemed a little lackluster.
I think my students are going to enjoy this one, but I needed a bit more oomph.
