Plot or Character Driven: A mix

my only exposure to nightwing has been the occasional jaw-dropping fanart i see when it pops up on my socials. that man is beautiful so of course i've kept him in the backburner of my brain for years and now that i've made the leap (ha!) to get into graphic novels, i thought this would be a perfect start. the art is fantastic, the plot is engaging, and despite my general knowledge of batman/bat-family, i did in fact tear up at the end. one less star simply because it is a bit too fast-paced for my taste and it's the first volume so everything is being set up.
