Carol Danvers is excited to
start at the United States Air Force Academy.
She has always dreamed of flying and is determined to prove herself in a
predominately male environment. Carol rooms
with another woman, Maria, and they become best friends as their goals are
similar. When they are discouraged from joining
the elite Flying Falcons, Carol and Maria work together and learn to trust
themselves, each other and the good friends around them.
The story line is pretty basic, without much action, but Carol is
likable and so are her friends. As Carol
learns to trust herself and disregard the limitations others try to put on her,
her growth is fun to watch. This book is
more about the inner thoughts and rants of Danvers and girl power, and less
action and adventure than you would expect from a Marvel’s book. There is no reference to Carol Danvers being Captain
Marvel.
