Batman: The Court of Owls by Greg Cox
3.0
"A darkness awaiting Gotham, sweeping over me, filling my mind."
Batman: The Court of Owls is one of my favorite Batman graphic novels, so I was very excited when I came across this book. At first, I thought it was a novelization, but this book takes place after The Court of Owls and The City of Owls graphic novels. If you're interested in this book and/or the graphic novels, read the graphic novels first, or they will be spoiled for you with this book.
The book has alternating chapters between present day and 1918. I found myself being more interested in the 1918 chapters overall. Although there were some interesting aspects to this book, I didn't feel like the mystery was enough to fully carry it. This book really slowed down after a while, and felt like a slog to get through by the end. It was a little too long, but it's not a bad book.
