I really liked this installment for a variety of reasons. I've come to love all the motifs that Koch sprinkles throughout her books like “I love the way you think”, “megalomaniac”, etc. It's just a part of the main character that distinguishes her as a person. “Kittyisms,” if you will.

The only thing I had an issue with in this installment were the amount of different Operations in the book. It seemed like at any moment in the book there were too many things going on and it became hard to keep track of who was in danger and the elaborate explanations behind all the action. Of course, there was a lot of convenient happenings when it came to the development of Kitty's “enhancements” and the fact that she could figure out so much of the megalomaniacs plans, but that's something I've come to terms with about this series. There's no feasible way that Kitty can figure out all the evil guys' plans just by growing up with the Conspiracy King and having read a lot of comic books. It's just a tad too out there, but so is the entire premise behind this series. Super-hot aliens from another planet and all that. If you're going to fully enjoy and immerse yourself in this series, you have to take a lot of things at face-value and appreciate the world-building and multitude of absurdly amazing characters for what they are.

I can't tackle this series from a reviewer standpoint and I'm not even going to try. I'm reading this series for my own pure, unadulterated enjoyment and entertainment. (That's probably a redundant statement but I stand by it.)

I will definitely continue on with this series for as long as I find it enjoyable and entertaining.
