What did you think of it? I'd not heard of it until your post, but now I'm intrigued.

See, this is why I do this -- to learn about new books and authors unfamiliar to me. :)

Oh, oh, I'm in the middle of Carrie Vaughn's After the Golden Age now and I'm loving it. Superheroes are real, but the daughter of the two most famous superheroes doesn't have any powers -- she's 'normal'. She tries to make her life as 'normal' as possible, working as a forensic accountant, but when her parents' archenemy is brought to trial and she's asked to consult, she's sucked back into her former life. The book is a lot of fun, yet it also looks at parent/child relationships and expectations quite closely.

I like Vaughn's Kitty the Werewolf series, but this first book in a new series gives Vaughn a bit more breathing room as an author. Also, it's dedicated to a mutual friend, Max, who introduced her to the golden age of comic books. Max thinks it's her best book ever, which is what made me want to read it. (Max and Vaughn are both very active in the SCA back in Boulder.)
