I mean, I know Catwoman aka Selina Kyle grew up amidst poverty even in the comics and the Dark Knight trilogy movies. But then I began and got instantly hooked in the first two chapters of the lengthy prologue. Seriously, it is!!! Before I picked up this book, I went to check out its GR reviews and some were very upfront about how the plot is slow and clichéd. I hope she will improve on it in her later books.)īut what impressed me most about this book are: 01) Really Amazing Plot: I’m so, so glad SJM is trying to make her books more diverse (though something that made me a bit upset was she still hadn’t relinquished her “kill the PoC” trope much. Most of Sarah’s previous notorious traits were unseen here (maybe one or two but not much). But this book made me so so happy while reading. Reading this book affirmed SJM can write books set in modern days as well (Guess what it means? I’ll be picking up Crescent City, SJM’s upcoming adult urban fantasy as well!). Also, because Catwoman is set in modern day urban setting while SJM is a writer whose books are always set in second world fae settings.Īnyway, my expectations were met to the fullest.

Maas, one of my favorite YA writer, is penning a DC icon book, I had to check it out.

She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals.
