When things don't exactly go to plan, Selina cuts a deal to protect her sister- and completely changes her own life in the process, taking her away to Europe. In this book, we begin with a younger Selina trying everything to pay her sister's hospital bills for her cystic fibrosis and keep the social services from finding out about their missing mother. Honestly, it seemed like a strength to me. I think there is room for the exciting villainous Selinas of the past and for this more sensitive, emotionally-complex version. I thought this version of the character was extremely refreshing. I like how tough Selina is, but how human she is too. I don't recommend this book for those who like strict adherence to the canon.īut I actually really enjoyed it. Catwoman is traditionally a much stronger, sassier character than Maas's Selina, who is frequently weak and is driven by her love for others. 2) I know some people will hate what Maas has done with Selina Kyle here. I have something of a love/hate relationship with her books, but I often complain about them.
I do have to issue a couple of warnings - 1) I'm not a typical Maas fan. Maas does not exactly sound like a recipe for tears, but this book got me good. I enjoyed slipping in and out of Selina's plotting and thieving, and I eventually found myself trying (and failing) not to cry on a train to Prague. I don't normally read books this slowly, but it was a strangely positive experience. This book has journeyed with me across two continents and five different countries while I've been travelling the last few weeks. Let Gotham City enjoy its final days of Summer.
