About this listen

For 35 years, the United States and Russia each had their own superhero.

Three days ago, America's hero died.

Today will be bad.

In the face of an overwhelming attack, one young woman - unassuming and anonymous - might be America's only hope.

Her codename ... COBALT BLUE

maybe my expectations were too high.
so far I've really enjoyed all of Matthews books, but this one has left me feeling underwhelmed and disappointed.

it's certainly no Scarecrow or Jack West Jr...

I liked the story, but it lacked details, and just skipped to key moments. Flash backs were ok, but didn't always fill in the gaps, or were obvious segways.

It seemed short, yet, predictable, and while more details may have made for a more enjoyable experience, the story was leading me to what was likely to happen.

A no surprises story, lacking detail.

enjoyed the story, was In line with his other heroes - different narrator was so used to the other books narrators but she did a good job

I love Matthew but Cobalt Blue as a whole was predictable and should have been shorter. Fury didn't need to threaten rape which although only mentioned a few times, essentially ruins the book by excluding younger readers via high maturity content from the simple story line they could have enjoyed. This easy correction could have established Cobalt blue as a heroine for teenage girls. Pity.

Why such high maturity threats?

Had trouble getting through this one. Should give to my kids to read. Only $17,

Not up to normal Matthew’s standards.
