I was super excited to read this because I love Barbara Gordon as Oracle, and this still managed to far exceed my expectations. I had no idea what the plot was going to be, and while the mystery itself was incredibly well written I loved that at its core this was just a story about the horrors of ableism and how disabled people don't need to be fixed or cured. I loved watching Barbara grow to feel confident in her wheelchair, I loved the supportive friendships, everything about this was just wonderful. Highly recommended!
