I don’t usually do a lot of book reviews here, but I absolutely LOVED this novel.
Hench was written by Natalie Zina Walschots and it takes place in a world where Superheroes and Super Villains rule the land. The main character starts off ‘Henching’ at a Temp Agency and works her way through the ranks of supervillain henchfolk. I’m purposely over simplifying the plotline because I really think you should go and check it out yourself! I will tell you that it’s very funny, engaging, action packed, insightful and incredibly well written. I picked up the book on my day off thinking I would spend a half hour with it and ended up reading the entire thing in one go and spending the entire day with it. I read a lot and can honestly say I don’t remember the last time that happened…likely pre-kids! Hench is also on the Canada Reads 2021 list and after reading it, I can completely understand why!
I grabbed an e-book version for myself but Hench is available in hard and softcover versions as well! If you have a chance, you can likely pick it up at Chapters here in town, or you can order one to your door (and check out a preview) here!
