This….wasn’t what I was expecting. But also? Now that I think back on what I know of DC comics and how things tend to go in Gotham, this is kind of what I would expect to see. It’s been really interesting diving into all these new retcon’ed backstories for DC’s villains. Victor Fries is one that I didn’t really know anything about other than the basics.

I think the thing that I enjoyed the most about this graphic novel was the slow transition from a love story to a tragedy. While this wasn’t my favorite graphic novel I’ve ever read, I did think that the author handled Nora’s illness, her mental health, and her suicidal thoughts, in a really thoughtful way. They didn’t pull any punches with any of it and I really appreciated that. So, with that said, I’m giving this 3.25 stars.

My least favorite of the DC Young Adult graphic novels so far. It was very Romeo and Juliet-esque, but didn't have me actually caring that much about the characters.

To start, the art in this was absolutely gorgeous. I loved the way different colors are used to represent Victor and Nora. Overall, I wanted a little more from the characters and the story. And the ending! So heartbreaking. A great, quick read.
