Kari Stewart and Curtis Reese grew up as close friends and spent their adolescence together, until Kari discovered that she was special. Her parents took her away and trained her for years, leaving Curt behind. Years later, after she's mastered her powers, she arrives in Avalare City, hoping to help people. Curt, meanwhile, bitter that his best friend, widely his only friend, abandoned him, leaving him to languish turned to the only skills he had. He built himself superpowers and uses them to steal from the rich and to provide for the poor, something he wished had happened for him when he was younger. They are given alternate identities by the press. Smash Gal, the strongest woman in the world and the elusive thief, Esvanir. And they couldn't help but clash.

Smash Gal & Esvanir is that breath of fresh air I've been craving. [Shawn] goes out of his way to give equal attention to what happens to our heroes and villains as well as the civilians. We get to see what happens to the average citizen and how they might react in horror, in outrage, or even despair because of the destruction that ultimately comes with a city having their own superhero. As another reviewer has remarked, a lot of common cliques and tropes are dodged and, instead, we're given something that is critical of both the genre and the justice systems seen in modern, developed countries. That's just the big picture. - Witchbug13 on RoyalRoad

Overall, just plain fun. Gets me smiling, gets me laughing, gets me mad, gets me sad. Keep up the good work, [Shawn]! - TobiasXin on RoyalRoad

The story focuses on Heros vs. Villians which I can appreciate. Anyone who has consumed media within the last ten or so years can tell you how saturated our entertainment is with this genre. Luckily this author has avoided most cliches, and troupes that are easy to fall into. - Sincerely.Sinister on RoyalRoad
