Harley Quinn: Ravenous by Rachael Allen
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and DC for the eGalley to review!
I was so excited to see a Harley Quinn novel that I didn't notice that this was a sequel when I requested my review copy--oops! But it turns out I didn't need to read the first one to understand what was going on in this one, because everything important or relative that happened then is mentioned for our convenience. That was a relief.
I really enjoyed it too! Though I couldn't help but feel as though the two sections of the book felt a little wonky in their order. I felt like having Harley remember things as she's going through the process of getting her memories back would have been better than presenting all of her (incomplete) memories first and then revealing that she doesn't recall anything. It didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book, but the structure did make it feel a bit stilted when I came to part two.
I'm really happy about the inclusion of Harlivy (Harley x Ivy) and it was really neat seeing how all these classic comic book characters are introduced and put through new origin stories and scenarios. It's really fun and I'm excited to see how it concludes in the next book. Also, it was cool learning some things about psychology.
(Also I adore King Shark with every iota of my being.)
