Batgirl, Vol. 5: Kicking Assassins by Alé Garza
5.0
I'm in love with al Cassandra Cain books apparently. I loved this one as well!
Cassandra's taken over Dick's beat and is watching over Bludhaven. It's interesting watching the Batfam take care of Bludhaven because the town is a complete cesspit. Batsy says they need to make the place their home because if they care about it, they'll be more dedicated to the job. Tim barely did that in Fresh Blood but Cassie, I think really did.
She has a sweet relationship with a cafe owner, Angela I think because she becomes a regular after Alfred moves her in. Angela learns about Cassie's illiteracy and doesn't hold it against her. She's very kind and helps her get food off the menu anyway and she worries about if she's eaten. She's a great friend and even invited Cassie to a party after an "anonymous" donation to her cafe debt problems.
Cassie's home is amazing! She has a flat and her own set of caves with a training room!
As usual, the fight scenes are beautifully drawn. The bit where she saw Stephanie again, as a hallucination?, broke my heart. I loved their relationship.
The parallels between David & Cassie and Slade & Rose were interesting. I wonder if she'll see Rose again.
