4.0

A surprisingly enjoyable book. It serves as a compelling mystery and an interesting low-fantasy/sci-fi regardless of your interest in the Batman characters. That being said, this book could fit right alongside any in-continuity Batman comic without feeling too out of place. Despite the book likely needing to end without any deviations from main continuity, the book manages to feel tense when need be. Overall, I feel like this novel is a worth while read for both preexisting Batman fans, and those who aren't familiar. Which is far more than I expected when picking it up.
