Reviewed by catalina cortezMe gustó mucho como esta contada la historia, lo que más me gustó fue el personaje de madeleine, y aunque el misterio no era tan sorprendente me gustó igual.
Reviewed by Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “You have a heavy heart, for someone with everything.”</i></b></blockquote> <i>Actual rating: 3.5 stars</i> I was really excited for this book because Batman is one of my favorite DC characters and I love Marie Lu's fast-paced writing, and though I did enjoy it, it was not all that I wanted it to be. Lu managed to capture Bruce's essence, his desire to make things better, to fight for what is right at all costs (even himself), but though it's understandable given how young he is here, I missed the darkness of both Batman and Gotham City. There was this lightness in both these aspects that failed to convey a Batman story for me - this Gotham is, through Bruce's view, and despite all the drama and crime going on, almost too calm, with the current events almost like an isolated event. And, though here we see the seeds for his future vigilante persona, we have a happy, less tortured and very carefree Bruce, which is...weird. The plot was interesting and there were a few plot twists along the way that were good, but most of it I found it too predictable. Bruce was very naive and there was this romance aspect here that was both unnecessary and annoying, not to mention completely cliché. Bruce's friends were far more interesting than the main couple, and I really wished they were more explored and participated more, especially Harvey. Things wrapped up ok, and in the end, I enjoyed the novel, but I was expecting more angst and darkness and maybe more action? My least favorite of the two, so far.
