Val Hall is one of Alma Alexander’s more unusual concepts. It’s set in a retirement facility for people who once had superpowers, and it looks at what daily life is like when your abilities are declining along with your health. The Even Years and The Odd Years split the story by alternating-year timelines, giving readers two different angles on the same community.
Century rounds out the series by pulling those threads together. The books mix humor with genuine pathos, asking what heroism looks like when you can no longer fly or read minds. It’s a lighter read than most of Alexander’s other work, but it has real emotional weight.
