Not Your Villain by C.B. Lee

Bells Broussard thought he had it made when his superpowers manifested early. Being a shapeshifter is awesome. He can change his hair whenever he wants and, if putting on a binder for the day is too much, hes got it covered. But that was before he became the countrys most wanted villain.

After discovering a massive cover-up by the Heroes League of Heroes, Bells and his friends Jess, Emma, and Abby set off on a secret mission to find the Resistance. Meanwhile, power-hungry former hero Captain Orion is on the loose with a dangerous serum that renders meta-humans powerless, and a new militarized robotic threat emerges.

Sometimes, to do a heros job, you need to be a villain.

Not Your Villain by C.B. Lee

goodreads

Bells Broussard thought he had it made when his superpowers manifested early. Being a shapeshifter is awesome. He can change his hair whenever he wants, and if putting on a binder for the day is too much, he’s got it covered. But that was before he became the country’s most-wanted villain.

After discovering a massive cover-up by the Heroes’ League of Heroes, Bells and his friends Jess, Emma, and Abby set off on a secret mission to find the Resistance. Meanwhile, power-hungry former hero Captain Orion is on the loose with a dangerous serum that renders meta-humans powerless, and a new militarized robotic threat emerges. Everyone is in danger. Between college applications and crushing on his best friend, will Bells have time to take down a corrupt government?

Sometimes, to do a hero’s job, you need to be a villain.

Mod opinion: I've read the first book in this series and really liked it, but I haven't gotten around to this book. But trans shapeshifters are very swag!!!

Name: Chase Wilsorr Pronouns: he/him Era: Rebellion Appears in: The Empire Strikes Back; From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back

Chase Wilsorr was a young, anxious, clumsy human man who delivered supplies around the Rebellion's Echo Base on Hoth. He knew every inch of the tunnels in Echo Base and used that knowledge to help people escape during the Empire's attack. He was romantically attracted to Jordan Smythe, a tauntaun handler, and the two shared a kiss as they successfully escaped the Imperial attack.

Check out Chase's profile video here!

Full profile under the cut:

Chase Wilsorrwas a member of the Rebellion who served as a kitchen hand and supply runner in Echo Base on the planet Hoth. He was an incredibly hard worker, but unfortunately, his clumsiness and anxiety held him back from what he considered the “important” jobs, like a soldier or sentry. He couldn’t even pass basic training. Chase’s rejections and demotions really lowered his confidence, even when others tried to reassure him that he was an important part of the Rebellion.

Even though Chase wasn’t a fan of his role, he was a great supply runner. He had helped construct the tunnels through the base when the Rebellion first arrived – and yes, he may have accidentally set his ion cannon a little too high and created a blast that got him demoted, but the point is that Chase was familiar with all of the tunnels in the base. Since he knew every nook and cranny and unused hallway, Chase was one of the fastest supply runners on Hoth.

Chase had a crush on Jordan Smythe, a handsome new tauntaun handler who valued Chase just as he was. Chase got super flustered around Jordan. He tripped over his words and blurted things out without thinking. On his caf runs – aka coffee runs – Chase kept Jordan’s drink in a separate thermos so that it would still be hot when he got to the tauntaun stables.

When the Empire attacked Echo Base, Chase’s “useless” skills ended up saving lives. Thanks to his knowledge of the tunnels, he was able to avoid cave-ins and lead countless medical workers, foot soldiers, communications officers, refugees, and more away from danger and to the evacuation shuttles. Chase put his own life on the line to go find Jordan, who was still in the tauntaun stables. Chase directed Jordan – and his tauntaun, Sunshine – through the base and just barely made it onto the last evacuation ship, the Bright Hope. As they flew away, Chase finally worked up the courage and asked Jordan for a kiss – a request that was happily accepted.

Though we learn about his story in “A Good Kiss” by C. B. Lee in From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back, Chase actually first appeared in the film! You can see him cut between Leia and Han during their hallway argument when Han decides to leave.

A Clash of Steel - C.B. Lee

Pirates - Retelling - Queer rep

⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

This was a really enjoyable read with interesting characters and an exciting plot, and i think it would've been a 4/5 stars if not for size and pacing of the narration. The story is about Xiang, daughter of a widowed merchant who runs a business away from the town she had left her daughter in. Xiang's only goal in life is to prove to her mother that she is worth her time and pride, and so she asks her mother to take her along to the city of Canton to teach her the ways of managing the family's buisness. From there she finds herself on a boat chasing the a legend of the dragon fleet's treasure to bring back to her mother in hope of gaining her trust.

Cover art: couldn't find, will add when i do.

What has to be my favorite thing about this book is the legend of the pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao, a formidable pirate that created and commanded a floating army through which she was able to intimidate multiple kingdoms and collect a treasure that became the dream of every sea-farer in the area. And what makes all this much more intriguing is the fact that it was all based on real life historical events. I also enjoyed reading the way the day-to-day life offshore was written especially since i've been dreaming of going to sea for ages now, which really made this whole book very enjoyable to me.

Now one of the main things that bothered me is the fact that the main plot twist was obvious from the beginning of the book. Not a lot of people care about that, but for me i think it would've made everything 90% more interesting if that specific piece of information wasn't very easy to come by from the start. Additionally, there were fewer action scenes than i was expecting from a pirate story, but then again i liked reading life on sea, so it wasn't that bad.

The other characters were incredibly interesting, and i wish that C.B. Lee went into their pasts, and personalities a little bit more. But the thing that got to me the most was how the storyline developed around Zheng Yi Sao. Part of it was my fault because i was craving her to be the morally gray character that forces you to fall in love with her (and COME ON A QUESTIONABLE CARING YET ICE COLD MILF do you really blame me) but then she was written off as a completely self absorbed asshole, who would do anything to protect her treasure.

Regardless of all that, and as i've said before i enjoyed reading this book, and would recommend it to all those who do not mind the specific things that affected my reading experience.

I'm so sad that Not Your Sidekick series is not so popular...I have nobody to ask if they know anything about the fourth book that was rumoured to come out last year "Not Your Hero". I know absolutely nothing about it and it makes me sad :(

Xiang feels ignored by her mother, treated as a thing to be kept safe rather than a person who can want things and pursue them competently. She's been surrounded by people paid to teach her and keep her safe, part of a village where she's free to roam to hills and read, but is kept away from anything more adventurous. Her prized possession is a pendant from her presumed-dead father. When her mother agrees to let her try to learn one aspect of the business, it appears as though her mother might finally take her seriously. Instead her mother keeps trying to arrange a marriage for Xiang, a prospect which feels stifling. She meets Anh, a sailor, and feels close to her almost immediately, but takes longer to realize just how different their perspectives are, due to their vastly different life experiences. When she runs away and joins Anh's crew she finds a place where she is valued for what she does and for how she fits into a larger whole.
