Not a big fan of the art here. It's a bit too... chaotic, I guess? And the story with the man being executed was strange. I don't know if I just missed something, but I pretty much had no idea wth was going on there. She goes to all this trouble to break him out and then just puts him back? What? But, the rest was good, especially the part with Lady Shiva. She's always fun.

Getting over the she's not Barbra, I don't see anything compelling about Cassie in this set. This one isn't as well written as the previous volume. It's weird how she's always referred to as Batgirl rarely is her name used. I find Cassie is portrayed extremely flat for a former child assassin.

This was another solid entry in the Cassandra Cain Batgirl series. It wasn't amazing on the whole, but there were amazing moments. We really delve into who Cassandra is and why she is the way she is.

Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. The art in the early Batgirl stuff was very touch and go to me, which made me wince a while reading through it, but I definitely appreciated the beginning of Cass' story, and Bab's involvement in that with Cass and with/against Bruce.

This is more like a 2.5 stars, it's just not good enough for the full three.
Unfortunately, these books don't stand the test of time. The story telling and the art are very dated. The story can be hard to follow at times, with how choppy it is, and the art is just awful so it makes everything even more confusing.
But I did like the cameos from Robin and Spoiler.
It's disappointing because I really want to get to know Cassandra better but these books are so below par.

I can't get behind this art. It is aggressively unpleasant to look at. Still, I do enjoy the character and the Spoiler teamup issue was a real standout.

Out of the other volumes I've read with Cass Cain, this has to be my favorite. It had a nice balance between vignettes and story. Cass is still in an early stage of her new life compared to later events that I've already read. It was nice to see her and Stephanie are friends at this point in time. One of my favorite parts was the quick look into her life with Stephanie as she kept saying "read it" over and over again. This is when it's revealed that Cass cannot read, and Stephanie offers to help her. Also, there's interaction with Robin, which is interesting when he sees the scars left behind of her other life. Cass is built into a human character in this with little bits and pieces as she tries to find herself in the mess that Cain left her in.
I'm hoping to read more of Cass Cain. I'm always on the look out for affordable volumes.

HOW did I not have an Oracle OR Barbara Gordon shelf before? Arrrrgh. I'm pretty much a sucker for Chuck Dixon stories, so there's no objective review to be had here.
