This was a really great book!!! It was dark, but a lot of the darkness was hinted at rather than explicit. It was faithful to the comics and get a new story. I really liked that she paired Selina and Luke Fox. I've never been a fan of Bruce and Selina (too toxic). But Maas's version of Luke and Selina worked really well because they had some core things in common that Bruce and Selina never really had.
I had a few minor complaints, such as there being a seemingly sudden shift in Selina's goals. I think maas was trying to draw out the suspense, but it came off as inconsistent. Also, Selina made a lot of powerful enemies, and it did make me worried for her future in Gotham. (To be clear, it wasn't a cliffhanger in that it was open for future issues; I just know comics, and the enemies she made are formidable).
